Platform: MIPS M/120-5 w. UMIPS 4.0

Problem: ksh88 compiles without difficulty, but will not run.  If the
executable is invoked from sh, ksh will not read its .profile file.
If forced with . .profile it says it doesn't exist.  If a full pathname
for .profile is given, ksh core dumps.  If ksh is invoked from csh, it
goes into tty input wait where it stays until killed.

The ksh88 doc says that it was successfully installed on UMIPS 3.1.

Suggestions are welcome.
