The behavior of ksh has changed when POSIX mode is enabled.
Issue
- After updating ksh, it appears that the behavior of the echo built-in has changed when posix mode (environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is defined) is enabled.
- Previously, the behavior was that when user printed a string that included the "-e" option to allow the escaping of characters, it did not print the "-e".
- After ksh was updated, we are seeing the "-e", in addition to the string printed to the screen.
- Is this the correct and expected behavior, or is this a bug?
