I suspect the bug is not present in any of the supported OmniOS releases which have the newer ksh 93u. $ printf "${.sh.version}\n" Version jM 93u+ 2012-08-01 However, I am happy to test on a range of OmniOS versions and report back if somebody can please point me at the exact archive/commit that showed up the error on OmniOS r151030.
