I think I solved the problem. The problem is with the lisp file  vc.el  in
the function
'vc-backend-checkout'.  The Lisp code creates an in-memory shell script and
then
runs it by invoking  "/bin/sh"  (hard-coded). I changed the string
"/bin/sh" to just
"sh" , compiled it and copied it to Emacs/lisp directory. Now it works fine
since
 "sh" is found on the PATH.

You are right. I thought that "sh" is used only to run a 'child process'.

Thanks.
