Somebody (ANSI, I think) decided that 'sh' would run $ENV, where it
didn't before. I had this same problem, fixed by changing .profile:
from:
export ENV=$HOME/etc/rc.ksh
. $ENV
to:
export FILE=$HOME/etc/rc.ksh
ENV='${FILE[(_$-=0)+(_=1)-_${-%%*i*}]}'
export ENV
I forget exactly what it does, but it works for me!
