Here is the original question.

G'Day gurus,
This is a wierd one.
Running ksh on DU 4.0B, type the following commands:
export A=$(dirname /usr/local/bin | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")
echo $A
/USR/LOCAL
export A=$(dirname /usr/local/bin | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]")
echo $A
export A=$(dirname /usr/local/bin | tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]")
echo $A
Note that the second and third commands output nothing for A.
Note also that the first and third commands are the same.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Cheers

Solution
--------
This was resolved after applying the ksh patches in Patch Kit0008 for DU4.0B
