Hi,
As part of fixing issue 617851 in the xvfb-run script, I had added a check to
make sure that the script is using a Korn(-like) shell.
Specifically, this code was added:
#
# Make sure we are running in a Korn(-like) shell.
#
set +e
HOME_DIR=`cd ~ 2>/dev/null`
if test $? -ne 0
then
echo

Thanks for the pointer. I'll see about getting a proper fix in the dash package.

xvfb-run uses "#!/bin/sh" as its shebang line. This is wrong because
it uses bash-specific features like "trap on_cleanup EXIT". This is
especially broken when "#/bin/sh" links to "dash" (now the default
shell on debian systems).
