ps bug in ODT 1.0?

[Clay Jackson]

I'm in the midst of trying to compile and install the korn shell
on my ODT 1.0 system (and having some "interesting problems) and
have run into one that is VERY bizzare.  I log in to an account
running the bourne shell, and then run xinit (I'm running staight X,
and NOT using the desktop).  In my .mwmrc file for X, I have a line
that reads:
	
		"scoterm"	f.exec "scoterm -sb"

When I execute that, if I'm using sh, everything is fine, I get an
scoterm window and things are happy. If I use Ksh, the first
command I type at the window completes and then the process terminates.

I got curious, and, from another multiscreen, did a ps -fu <me> to see
what was running.  The ps display says that the ppid of the 
scoterm window is 1.  Everything I know about Unix says that process 1
is init.....

Can anyone shed any light on this?  While you're at it, I'd sure appreciate
it if someone from SCO might be able to give me some idea as to the
difficulties THEY ran into trying to put ksh on ODT 1.0, and if maybe
I'm attempting something that's just plain impossible?
