I have tried to find the explanation in man ksh and by searching on the
net, but nothing has turned up. Does any of you guys what is going on
here?

I don't use ksh, but it may support a "command not found" handler,
a shell function that is called in that event. If such a handler
exists, but does nothing, it could have the result you see.
