>Description:
As alias expansion stops if command is alias word itself,
an alias can be used to add environment variable to a simple command.
Re-execute such alias causes /bin/ksh to crash.
workaround:
add trailing space to aliased command.
For example:
alias ls='LANG=C ls '
Other implementation:
bash, mksh, ksh93, and zsh are not affected this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ /bin/ksh
$ alias ls='LANG=C ls'
$ ls
$ fc -e -
