Richard,
        Not to split hairs here, and dangerously close to being off topic, but 
isn't sh linked to ksh? From the man page:

man sh:
Syntax
Refer to the syntax of the ksh command. The /usr/bin/sh file is linked to the
Korn shell.
Description
The standard configuration of the operating system links the /usr/bin/sh path 
to the Korn shell.

ls -l :
-r-xr-xr-x   4 bin      bin       240390 Dec 02 1999  /usr/bin/sh
-r-xr-xr-x   4 bin      bin       240390 Dec 02 1999  /usr/bin/ksh
-r-xr-xr-x   4 bin      bin       240390 Dec 02 1999  /usr/bin/ksh
that is on a AIX 4.3.3 system at least.  Maybe if your system is configurthat 
is on a AIX 4.3.3 system at least.  Maybe if your system is configured 
differently you would have a different sh binary.
