>Description:

ksh (in emacs-mode) sets the cursor to a wrong position if you delete a
word with ESC+d (or meta+d) while the edit-buffer is "scrolled left" and
includes more characters than displayed.

>How-To-Repeat:

start /bin/ksh in emacs mode and type this (you need to add some words if your 
terminal has more then 80 columns):
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccccccccccc dddddddddddddddddddd eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

then go back with the cursor to the beginning of the "bbbb..."-block und use 
ESC+d to delete this block. the cursor is now at a wrong position, pressing 
CTRL+l redraws the line and shows the cursor at the right position.

>Fix:

a patch for bin/ksh/emacs.c:
