MKS Toolkit is a separate product. Part of it is also included in
Microsoft's poorly named "Services for Unix" which adds some Unix
compatibility to NT. See
<
http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/eval/ProductCompare/UNIX/sfu.asp>
for more information about that. I thought that all or part of SFU was
available for free, but I can't find it so perhaps I'm remembering wrong or
it has changed.
Several people have tried MKS Toolkit shell with this patch and found that
it works fine, so I don't think that is the issue right now. A more
interesting question is whether the patch interacts badly with your process
patch. I looked at what you did and it looks like they should be ok
together, and independent of each other, but I haven't actually tried them
together.

I tried looking at this problem. I have MKS Source Integrity
installed but can't find a korn shell in there.
Is the MKS Toolkit a separate product? If so, I can't debug this.
If it's part of MKS SI, please point me to the executable which I
haven't been able to find.
Thanks,
Adrian
