zsh 3.0 pre3 dumps core when... And a ksh emulation mode problem

[pmutsaer@hzscg01.nl.lucent.com]

Hello,

zsh 3.0 on SunOS 4.1.4, compiled with gcc 2.7.2 (both with and without
optimization) dumps core when called wish a shell script as argument.

e.g. if file tst contains only the line 'ps', then
'zsh tst' causes a core dump.

Note that . tst, or simply 'tst' (implicitly calling zsh) do not dump
core.

The report script also dumps core, so I cannot send a standard report.

Note that I use ksh emulation mode.

The stack trace (from gdb):

#0  0xef76f7b8 in fflush ()
#1  0x40a8c in printjob (jn=0xb3900, lng=0, synch=0) at jobs.c:343

I hope you can see something from this.


Another thing, concering ksh emulation mode:

On SunOS 4.1.4 ksh will call /bin/ksh on executable shell scripts
without #! on the first line. zsh will allways call /bin/sh.

This breaks some ksh scripts for me.

Is it possible to call /bin/ksh for such subshells instead of /bin/sh,
when in ksh emulation mode? (For now I simply modified /bin/sh in exec.c)
