Description
ksh93 busybox alias has a fast and a slow code path.
The slow path uses an embedded script to execute the command.
If the command is a plain built in command it will load it with the builtin
command.
But:
ksh93 will look for the command builtin in path first before it uses the built
in builtin command.

This is bad for performance and bad if an entry in path is a nfs mount which
hangs.
