RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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.

===========================================
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.
