Product: solaris

Priority: 2-High
Introduced In Release: solaris_nevada

=== *Description* ============================================================
During SST testing of snv_128(RE) we found out that ksh93 executes EXIT trap
handlers twice under some circumstances.
Here is a test script:
---
#!/bin/ksh93 -x
function A
{
set -x
trap "print TRAP A >>log" EXIT
print >&2
}
function B
{
set -x
trap "print TRAP B >>log" EXIT
A
}
rm -f log
x=$(B)
---
It produces the following output on snv_128:
---
+ rm -f log
+ B
+ trap 'print TRAP B >>log' EXIT
+ A
+ trap 'print TRAP A >>log' EXIT
+ print
+ + print TRAP A
1>& 2
+ 1>> log
+ print TRAP B
+ 1>> log
+ print TRAP A
+ 1>> log
+ print TRAP B
+ 1>> log
+ x=''
---
The log file then contains:
TRAP A
TRAP B
TRAP A
TRAP B
However, the expected log would be:
TRAP A
TRAP B
When the "x=$(B)" line is changed to "B", the log is correct:
TRAP A
TRAP B

=== *Workaround* =============================================================
Workaround provided by Roland Mainz:
1. You may use the foo=${ cmd ; } style command substitution which runs
"cmd" in the current subshell level, e.g. replace x=$(B) with x=${ B ; }
OR
2. Use the following statement as replacement for x=$(B), too:
x=$( printf "%s\n" "${ B ; }" )
