All to the same effect.

No, I don't think that's it. Really. I could be wrong, and
will test again, but I'm pretty sure it's not.
Oh, this built cleanly on OpenBSD 2.6 -- 100% test passage.
There were still some bugs on the 2.4 release related to their

BTW, even in 2.6 it claims that this is korn shell. I don't
really think so.
