Has anyone else noticed that man ksh displays a page that at least
appears not to be about ksh93 or the newer korn shell?

The first three items:

  NAME
       sh,  rsh, pfsh - shell, the standard/restricted command and
       programming
       language

  SYNOPSIS
       sh [ +-abcefhikmnoprstuvxCDP ] [ -R file ] [ +-o option ] ... [
       -  ]  [
       arg ... ]
       rsh  [ +-abcefhikmnoprstuvxCD ] [ -R file ] [ +-o option ] ...
       [ - ] [
       arg ... ]

  DESCRIPTION

       Sh is a command and programming language that executes commands
       read from a terminal or a file.  Rsh is a restricted version of
       the standard command interpreter sh; it is used to set up login
       names and execution environments whose capabilities are more
       controlled than those of the standard shell.  Rpfsh is a
       profile shell version of the standard com- mand interpreter sh;
       it is used to to execute commands with the attributes specified
       by the user's profiles (see pfexec(1)).  See Invo- cation below
       for the meaning of arguments to the shell.

Is this somekind of error?

Gack, what is the date on your man page?

Here it is: 
 ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz
 -rw-r--r--  1 root root 42519 Mar 23  2005 \
  /usr/share/man/man1/ksh.1.gz

Neither mksh or pdksh are really `Korn' shells far as I know.
