Description slee 2001-05-29 17:26:20 UTC 
Description of Problem: The ksh read command does not read from a pipe.


How Reproducible: All the time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using ksh
2. echo A B C | read AA BB CC
3. echo $AA

Actual Results: You get nothing.


Expected Results: You should get A


Additional Information:  The results are the same if you use command line 
or put results in a script.

I don't recall exact version of distribution.  I believe it is 7.0??.
uname -a gives:
Linux harley 2.2.16-22 #2 Sat Apr 21 14:10:28 CDT 2001 i586 unknown

The 'component' field would not let me specify ksh or Korn Shell (why?), 
but would not let me submit the bug without something; so I picked 
something.

This isn't against 4Suite...
