Well I was going to correct you as you have been talking just about the SFU 
platform. Doing it this way implies that you refer to the ksh that comes wit 
SFU 
and this is of course extemely broken - even simple scripts won't work unless 
you introduce specific workarounds (see sub shell handling in the SFU ksh 
parser ;-).
