The actual bug isn't all that interesting or related to ksh.  Instead,
`make' was calling putenv(3C) and then freeing the string.  That
corrupts memory, because putenv actually installs the pointer itself
into the environment.  The invoked processes were getting corrupted
environment strings, and thus strange things were happening.

It was caused by the fix for 5041781.

Other than a gratuitous customer name included in the comments, I
don't see a good reason to hide this one.
