   An update that has four recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This update to Korn Shell (ksh) resolves the following
   issues:

   * Restore the symbolic link /etc/ksh.kshrc which, in
   some specific circumstances, might have been removed by a
   previous update (bnc#759730)
   * Piping output to a pager under ksh may cause a hang
   on s390x (bnc#753845)
   * Add "close on execute" flag to file descriptors used
   for pipe handling to avoid warnings (bnc#704898)
   * Do not ignore backslashes/escapes for read built-in
   (bnc#765171).

   This update also includes fixes from the ksh93u+ upstream
   project released  between Feb 14 and Feb 29 2012.
