Wow.  I've never heard of a ksh that does that.
Can you please try the following test case, to confirm this?
Please use the ksh that is giving you problems.

ksh -c 'while test 0 -lt 1; do break; done'
echo $?

The 'echo' should output '0' on a working ksh, and it should do
something else on your system's buggy ksh.  Once we've verified this,
we can fix Autoconf to detect that bug your ksh and avoid it.

Thanks.
