Hi Kevin! I've experienced the same problem. Its not related to pg in any
way. I suspect ksh closes the wrong files under certain circumstances
before forking and execing a child proc for piping.
Maybe ksh is playing around with the CLOSE_ON_EXEC flag in a way AIX doesn't
like. I'll check out that.
Under AIX PS/2 ksh is running fine, just compile with all the BSD defines.
