We're trying to port code from bash to ksh and we run in the following error:

export IFS=""
tempzip=`unzip -p file.zip file | uuencode -`
echo $tempzip | uudecode -

The system is a solaris 8 server. The end result is an error in ksh:

Invalid character (0x...)

In bash it works.

The end results have different byte counts depending on the shell in which the code is executed.

locale's are the same, both "C"
