[ksh93-integration-discuss] Re: Small sticky-bit bug in "mkdir" builtin...

[Glenn Fowler]

posix documents (S_ISVTX|S_ISUID|S_ISGID) in mode for mkdir(path,mode)
as implementation defined, so to force those bits on some implementations
a separate chmod(path,mode) is required -- I added this for the next release

I'll post new beta packages friday

included will be some minor changes to support ast and non-ast b_find() builtins
the main part of that being sh_run() for b_find() -exec
