+Description: ksh segfaults in job_chksave after receiving SIGCHLD
+ Prior to this update, the compiler optimization dropped parts from the ksh job
+ locking mechanism from the binary code. As a consequence, ksh could terminate
+ unexpectedly with a segmentation fault after it received the SIGCHLD signal.
+ This update implements a fix to ensure the compiler does not drop parts of the
+ ksh mechanism and the crash no longer occurs.
