Hi All, I reported the same at debian (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720441)
For my day to day work I use Tc$ /usr/bin/lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise Tc$ uname -a Linux phitc 3.5.0-37-generic #58~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 10 17:51:56 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux And I got the ksh93 core dump as well (i.e 32bits, while this initial post was about 64bits.) As a fix I did an apt-get source ksh then build, (I was doing this in an attempt to fix it) and to my surprise, bugs goes away when build out of the box, so I replaced /bin/ksh93 with my newly built. Cheers, Phi ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #720441 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720441 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086873 Title: SIGSEGV upon entering '#' at beginning of line at prompt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ksh/+bug/1086873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
