Hello,
I've been experience numerous problems with the dtksh under 4.0b. Under
3.2x I worked around most problems and was hoping they be fixed under
4.0, obviously this is not true.
1. There is a problem with pipes. A ksh without pipes is like a
keyboard without the space bar. In short, one pipe works but when
joined with another, an error results. Rumor has it, this will be
fixed in 4.0e. When is 4.0e scheduled for release? Why no patch?
2. Getting numerous unaligned access errors in dtksh scripts on
different commands which result in the shell crashing and a core dump.
When I move the commands around within the shell
the errors sometimes go away. In Fortran there is a compiler option
'-align records' which would resolve similar problems for Fortran code
on RISC processors. Is there a similar command to use with the dtksh?
Does a CDE image require relinking?
Thanks,

Hi,

^^^^^
Um, did you file a qar or ipmt to track this problem? If Engineering doesn't
know a problem exists we can't fix it :-(
The only relevent qar I found was 50237 (dtksh pipes), which a fix was just
submitted to 4.0d and will be backported. If this fixes you're problem,
you should make sure someone knows what release you need it backported to.
