Bug Fix Advisory pdksh bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2005:538-7
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2005-10-05
Last updated on: 2005-10-05
Affected Products: Red Hat Desktop (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4)

Details

An updated pdksh package is now available.

The pdksh package contains PD-ksh, a clone of the Korn shell (ksh).
The ksh shell is a command interpreter intended for both interactive
and shell script use. Ksh's command language is a superset of the sh
shell language.

1) Emacs and gmacs modes in pdksh did not display the typed in commands when
the command prompt was set to a very long string.

2) Pdksh waited for tty input in non-interactive scripts and used all
available CPU time while waiting.

3) pdksh segfaults or prints corrupted script names (i.e. when printing
error messages).

Users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
