Comment 1 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-29 06:53:59 UTC 
I failed to reproduce the bug with ksh-20071105-2.fc8.
Comment 3 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-29 09:24:23 UTC 
I can reproduce this bug only with OPTIND variable.
Comment 4 ritz 2008-01-29 09:35:34 UTC 
noticed this now. And for this is applicable for i386 also.
Comment 5 ritz 2008-01-29 09:37:03 UTC 
OPTIND seems to be a reserved variable within ksh.
Comment 6 Tomas Smetana 2008-01-29 14:09:54 UTC 
OK.  I think I have a fix.  I've sent it upstream for a review to verify it's
correct.
