[FYI] {maint} self tests: cater for /bin/ksh symlinked to Zsh


From: Stefano Lattarini
Subject: [FYI] {maint} self tests: cater for /bin/ksh symlinked to Zsh
Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 16:11:52 +0200

* t/self-check-reexec.tap: When searching for a suitable non-Bash
shells, be sure to reject any shell that is Zsh "in disguise" (as
can be found on some Debian systems, where /bin/ksh can be symlinked
to /bin/zsh4).  This is required because our testsuite does not
support older versions of Zsh if not imperfectly, and that was
causing the test to fail in the setup just described.
