Correct me if I'm wrong but on many Leenuchs systems /bin/sh *is* bash - at 
least that's the impression I got while fixing up a bazillion shellscripts, 
removing Bashisms or making them say '#!/usr/bin/env bash', so that they work 
on FreeBSD as well. Whatever /bin/sh is on Linux, it's often not the same as 
plain vanilla 'sh'.
