Read http://bugs.grommit.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22#c3 - it seems the
problem isn't completely gone.. ;-(
... and I am running out of options and ideas how to solve it. We can't
disable the "getconf" builtin since this would break the test suite (and
therefore we would ship a ksh93 which is no longer compatible to the
upstream versions) and the OS/Net rules forbid a putback with an
incompatible builtin enabled.

We've reached a deadlock.
