Ksh on Ultrix

Some time ago I remember hearing that there was some problem in using
the Korn shell on Ultrix v1.2. The problem was that ksh assumed that
the stdio structs were in an array so that code like
FILE *j;
for(j = &_iob[0]; j <= &_iob[NFILE-1]; j++) { do stuff}
worked. This wouldn't work on Ultrix because FILE structs for stuff
"above" stderr are malloc'd. Do I remember the problem correctly?
Did it ever exist? If so, has it been fixed? Gratias Multas!
