This needs to be discussed further because upstream says that the original documentation is, in fact, correct (https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/wiki/Patch-Upstream-Report:-Red-Hat):

> monitor mode was documented incorrectly (#1019334)
> public bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1019334
> patched by: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ksh/blob/642af4d6/f/ksh-20120801-manfix4.patch
> REJECTED: The original documentation is correct and the patch is wrong. (https://github.com/ksh93/ksh/blob/37a18bab7173427ce045c9a67772cb98eb678cb7/src/cmd/ksh93/sh/xec.c#L1684-L1694)
