Details

An updated pdksh package that fixes two bugs 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.

This update addresses a bug where pdksh did not recognize signals by name
and another bug where certain ksh scripts caused pdksh to abort.

Users of PD-ksh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
