Frankly, that would be the vendor's fault then. There are many *MANY*
ksh implementations, that make for a reasonable link target (ksh93,
pdksh or mksh - to name just a few). Zsh is not one of them.
IMHO, ksh-emulation is a little bit like csh emulation: It's meant to
make users with ksh background feel more "at home", not as a strict
bug-for-bug emulation.
