patch to fix the command line of sort in siglist.sh

I know that support for pdksh (ksh-88) was dropped in the RHEL5 series, and most people would say that you should not be using a 20 year old program, but my employer has a major development system written in ksh-88, and the cost of porting it to ksh-93 is prohibitive in terms of money and time at the present.

So, I offer up a simple one line change against pdksh-5.2.14-30.3 which will let it build and install cleanly against 5.2.

Hi, since pdksh is dropped from RHEL5 you have two options .. either please open a request at our support - https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ who will escalate the issue through our product management or take look at EPEL project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL , where you can suggest pdksh for review.
