Bugs, I can duplicate this bad behavior on our 5.1A PK3 systems, at least
where the ~user directory is on an NFS-mounted partition. It seems to
work OK on a local filesystem. Good eye.

Same effect im my PK3-system. In general I use ksh ;-)

Paul Hill from HP support was also able to duplicate the problem on a 5.1a PK3
system, and is working with engineering on getting it corrected.
