FC3: pdksh-5.2.14-30.i386.rpm

FC4: ksh-20050202-1.i386.rpm

It looks like FC4 has "real" ksh.  I'd suggest filing a bug against the
new ksh because of the loss of functionality.

I would guess that it should be in the release notes, but it doesn't
appear that any list of packages added or removed made it.  I'd suggest
filing a RFE to get the lists added at least to the online version of the
release notes.
