It's already been downgraded to a P3 RFE, as we've never made any
promise that the script would work with ksh93.

It's not clear, at least to me, and with the information given,
whether this is indeed a problem in net-routing-setup, or if it's a
problem in ksh93's compatibility with /sbin/sh.

I suspect that some more information will be necessary (probably from
the community) to evaluate this one.
