I assume that this OpenSolaris system has the "new" ksh93 shell, which 
is vastly different than previous Solaris /bin/sh and includes much 
more than a shell (it is a shell + utilities).  The project page for 
this is at

 http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Project+ksh93%2Dintegration/

If the shell is indeed ksh93 then I suggest following up with Roland 
Mainz on the ksh93 integration discussion list and report back here 
once there is a conclusion.
