Why that ?

bash is the choice shell for Linux, and we're not trying to make
another dec osf, right ? and don't forget that many linux
proggy's rely on system sh to be bash. generic sh writing is gone
for a long, long time...

It works here on a lot of machines

cassis:~/docs$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)

ok, it's an intel...

hmm

asl@alpha:~/linux$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.03.0(1)-release (alpha-unknown-linux-gnu)

and there it works fine. apha ev56, ruffian. (debian based)
