Interesting. When I try that with the Solaris ksh, I get
athyra$ ksh -c 'integer x=2 ; foo() { integer x=5 ; } ; print "x=$x" ; foo ;
print "x=$x" ;'
x=2
x=2
athyra$
So it looks like the Solaris ksh allows real local variables with
old-style function definitions. When we start looking at replacing the
Solaris ksh with ksh93, this is something that will need to be looked
at.
