Hi Troy,

This is not a critical bug since using bash does not 'break the whole system'.
The patch is also not correct because this script is marked /bin/bash for a
reason, because it's not fully posix compliant and therefore will not run with
just any /bin/sh.
It's a valid request for the script to be modified to change its interpreter,
it's already filed at #762923. Maybe you can help develop a tested patch for
that to move it forward.
Cheers,
Thijs
