Lev,
I git-ified you patch and sent it upstream, but in the future, if you make more 
changes to ksh, push them upstream to https://github.com/ksh93/ksh where the 
new ksh lives, they do no good simply sitting in our mailing list. I've also 
seen some talk about using the old at&t ksh, but this simply isn't possible or 
desirable, so much work has been put into this fork that solved many issues not 
only for dtksh, but ksh as a whole.


Thank you for your time,
-Chase
