One bug that I know exists in that distribution is in the cd command:
you can't cd to directories that have a ':' in the name without some
really weird behavior (I can post the exact circumstances if anyone's
interested). I called the toolchest about the problem and they
relayed it to David Korn. He sent me a patch right away, and after
some tweaking on my part, did the trick. So if you're having problems,
it's worth it to call them, even the software is considered unsupported.
I believe he IS interested in receiving all bug reports, and his email
address is included with the distribution somewhere.
