Hello, I cannot explain it to you (or myself) either, but what I can
do is joining you in confirming, that it is as you described plus
joining you in asking that exact question.
In summer '08 there still had been two odd SMF boot time failiures due
to an incompatibility of ksh93 with certain indirectly called (not
obvious) legacy scripts, Moinak found out and once reported about
this. But isn't all that sorted out / fixed by now? Otherwise - beyond
from thousand promille backwards compatibility on SXCE vs. only 999
promille backwards compatibility on Indiana I cannot see much of a
reason, why the old shell would still be around at all, especially not
as the default for any user account, including root, not on SXCE nor
anything else.
