Has anyone found why ksh hangs on receiving EOF on Suns yet ? I've
seen the question asked but I've not seen an answer here.

I've had a look at ksh using dbx on my Sun and it *appears* that the
problem lies in the getsc_() function in ksh/src/lex.c which defines
EOF to be 0 instead of -1. Is this anything to do with it ?

Yours in hope....
