Being an only half-happy user of ksh-88e, I'd like to email some bug
reports to the author of ksh, David Korn.  People say to send it to
[...]att!ulysses!dgk, but I get the same results just by sending it to
/dev/null.  Anyone know what's going on?

In case you care, the two bugs that bug me are:

1 - A cd to the parent of a directory in CDPATH fails, e.g. if xxx is in my
CDPATH, then cd xxx/.. should take me to xxx's parent.  Many moons ago, this
used to work... Now it doesn't.

2 - The first shell command in a sessions fails to properly enter into the
command history file.  It's there, but somehow it's mangled by stuff in the
profile file.

Thanks.
