>Description:
pdksh in base system repeatedly corrupts its history file
if history file has big size and several ksh instances
exit simultaneously
it is pity because otherwise ksh is the only usable interactive
shell in base system
>How-To-Repeat:
have 700kb history file 
then run screen with a lot of ksh instances
and reboot
>Fix:
N/A
