Well, if it is a bug in the ksh93/AST code then it is platform and
compiler-specific issue because 64bit gcc doesn't show that problem,
too. And to make it worse - a statically linked (e.g.
libshell/libcmd/libdll/libast statically linked) ksh93 does not show the
problem either (neither gcc Solaris/Linux or Sun Studio 10 x86/SPARC).
It seems to be a very subtle issue with our dynamically linked ksh93,
Sun Studio 10 and the build flags used by OS/Net for AMD64... fun... ;-(

Did you had time to take a look at the coredump yet ?
