Re: problems with 'read'ing from a pipe

[John Smith]

Ok, so maybe I should have just 'read the manual'
;)

But it still confuses me somewhat, since AT&T's kornshell behaves
differently.. I just downloaded the latest available version for Linux
from the url mentioned below, and it does work in AT&T's ksh as I
expected...

But I guess that you would consider that a bug in ksh ?
;)
