It isn't broken.  It's just a minimal POSIX shell.  It will work
fine with any script, providing you aren't using any non-standard
bash, ksh or zsh extensions.  There might possibly be some new
POSIX shell standard features which it doesn't yet support, but
I've yet to encounter any deficiencies should any exist.  If you
were using such features, it would doubtless break any many other
systems as well using older POSIX shells.
