 IIRC the default "sh" is the same as "ash" which in turn is a very
_cutdown_ build. It is included just for "install script" stuff.

 Please, do correct me if I'm wrong!

I'd reccommend using /bin/bash based on these facts. Unless you plan to go
and recompile "sh" or "ash" yourself.

 Might this be about not running bash, but something else?
