I have a program whick executes a ksh (NOT sh) "system ()" call to
echo a large string.  (This echos a long help string into "less").

It used to work great; now it dumps core.  Could this be a consequence
of the new ksh?  (I get errors like:
"/bin/ksh: 5409 Illegal instruction - core dumped" )

Any theories?  Not a new bug!
