1.77.4. RHBA-2011:0939: ksh bug fix update

An updated ksh package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
KSH-93 is the most recent version of the KornShell by David Korn of AT&T Bell Laboratories. KornShell is a shell programming language which is also compatible with sh, the original Bourne Shell.
This update fixes the following bug:
* Previously, ksh treated an array declaration as a definition. Consequently, the array contained one element after the declaration. This bug has been fixed, and now an array is correctly reported as empty after a declaration. (BZ#716375)
All users of ksh are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
