I tried it with the version of ksh I have installed:

$ ksh --version
  version         sh (AT&T Research) 93u+ 2012-08-01

And had no problems.

It could be a problem with "set -e" as was the case before. To confirm
this, try deleting this line at the start of texi2dvi and see if the
same error happens. The challenge then would be to find where exactly
in "decide_aux_files_method" the failure is detected.
