Description of problem: MAXLINE of ksh is not long enough Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ksh-20120801-28.el6.x86_64.rpm [ENV] # ksh # echo $LANG en_US.utf8 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: In RHEL6.7 ksh, in the command line, when the LANG is utf-8, it seems that I can only input 1019 char(nearly to 1024). In the following example, I have input "1234567890" by 101 times, but continuely I can only input one "123456789" after that. =========[example]================================== # ksh # 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789 =========================================== Actual results: In RHEL6.7 ksh, in the command line, it seems that I can only input 1019 char(nearly to 1024). Expected results: Make it more such as 2048 or 4096 when using utf-8 Additional info: After digging the src code, the *MAXLINE* is defined as following: ================== src/cmd/ksh93/include/edit.h : 63 #define MAXLINE 1024 /* longest edit line permitted */ : ================== After make the MAXLINE more such as 2048, then re-compile a new rpm and install it on rhel6, then I can input more char in ksh cmd-line with utf-8.
what's the progress, had the new release that resolve the issue published?
