odd, since ksh is supposed to be upwards-compatible with sh..
it would be nice if you could identify the problems when running
certain sh-scripts with ksh (I mean, after all, the NetBSD startup
scripts aren't particularly complicated or twisted sh scripts which
could trigger some compatibility problems in other shells...)
I have written some fairly perverted sh scripts in SysV Bourne shell
(including an interpreter for a simpler script language) and never
had any problems with pdksh, ksh{88,93} regarding (Bourne)-sh
compatibility, not with the ash-derived /bin/sh on NetBSD either...
