Some possibilities:
You aren't running ksh93 - run "ksh93 script" to be sure.
Someone has edited the file under M$ and you have
"function month.get^M" - ^M is not a legal identifier
"cat -vet script" will help there.
You have a poisoned environment - some exported var is
crashing things. Maybe someone has "typeset -r month" or something
weird. Typesetting can be exported (!!!) - ksh93 passes that info
in a private var. Use env to provide a clean environment:
env -i HOME="$HOME" PATH="$PATH" script
