It won't, the issue is not important at all, merely minor as it's a problem with ksh that does not affect other shells. Also note that in a shell, when you define a function, it should mask any builtin that exists, so it's definitely a ksh only issue, and is not worth a stable update. The fix will appear in the soon to be uploaded 2.6 packages though. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
