It doesn't matter what you do with your shell, it simply shouldn't crash.
if you like it, and you would like continue using it, I suggest you
try to get a working binary. ksh93 hasn't changed since 20060214
(according to freshports.org), so I guess you're working with the most
recent version already.
What you should try is to rebuild this port without any optimization
set in /etc/make.conf.
Please comment any CFLAGS= and CPUTYPE= and do a make reinstall.
This should result in a i386 binary without any optimization. Try
using it, maybe the core dump is gone. There are several ports out
there that don't like being built with optimization.
