error message does (in my eyes, generally I don't use ksh) not match the code.

Only point that matches numbers in any way:

However: Bourne-comment (mostly be the same on ksh): use

Code:
if ( "$depth" -eq "64") then

instead of

Code:
if ($depth==64) then

-eq => numerical comparison
"" => prevents problems when $depth is empty
