Subject: KSH on Cygwin
X-Originating-Ip: 192.76.82.89
X-Originating-Server: ws1-9.us4.outblaze.com

I apologize in advance if I've missed an obvious resource or if this question is off-topic for Cygwin (flame or ignore as appropriate).  With the recent KSH emails, I decided to try to get KSH running under Cygwin.

With emails of pre-compiled binaries for Cygwin and that KSH should compile OOB with Cygwin, I downloaded the INIT and ast-ksh packages for Cygwin and placed them in /tmp/ksh/lib/package/tgz.  I extracted the INIT tarball and then ran bin/package read.  The bin/package read command runs a bit and extracts some files but hangs when it gets to bin/package.  Apparently part of that script renames bin/package to bin/package.old and then gets stuck in some sort of loop (at least I can't tell what it's doing).  This behavior occurs with Cygwin specific packages as well as with the source for INIT and ast-ksh.

Any pointers are appreciated.
