Kernel patches have nothing to do with the shell, and 108528-20 is way
out of date. It would have to be a patch that addresses SUNWcsu or
SUNWxcu4. showrev -p and grep should tell you.

/usr/xpg4/bin/sh is governed by SUNWxcu4,
/usr/bin/ksh by SUNWcsu

Same here WRT file size differences BTW, the files aren't identical. I
wonder if they used to be.

I wonder if it needs to be filed at access1 but I, too, only have access
to a slowish machine that isn't my own.
