This update to Korn Shell (ksh) resolves the following

* 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).

project released between Feb 14 and Feb 29 2012.
