Thanks! ...
... for the log: We've updated the project's codebase to kill three more
bugs:
-- snip --
6857344 /usr/bin/hash core dump with invalid arguments
6866676 Need test suite module to test the kernel support for compiled
shell scripts
6881017 Subshell doesn't exit, holds pipe open preventing callers from
exiting
-- snip --
Additonally CR #6877392 ("ksh93 regresses uniq performance") should be
fixed now (BTW: Can someone update the title to "ksh93 regresses 'uniq
-c' performance", please ? It was only the "-c" option which caused
trouble, in the normal mode the new "uniq" implementation both
outperformed the old "uniq" implementation and the GNU coreutils one...)
but we have to wait for the perf team to officially confirm this...

Bye,
Roland
