I already have a fix (tested and queued for my sponsor) for CR #6793120
which does something similar as you've proposed... and since the
commands all go through the same wrapper we won't see this problem a 2nd
time (and "yes", I'll be carefull the next time and explicitly test for
this condition - CR #6793120 was one of the mistakes in the
ksh93-integration update1 putback which was really avoidable if I
would've used my brain... ;-/ ).
