At some point in the future we need to look at updating the ksh93 base of dtksh. dtksh is currently based on ksh93d-, which is an alpha version. The current AT&T ksh stable upstream version is ksh93u+, ~15 years newer, much more stable and much more portable. Runs on Linux (Suse, Fedora, embedded, etc), FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Illumos, HP/UX, too. The license issues (if there are actually any, so far I haven't seen proof by a lawyer) are solvable by using libshell.so.1, which is ksh93 as shared library.
