Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
A regular /bin/sh shell will not search . (current working directory)
unless $PATH contains "." when you do ". FILE".
While this is convenient for users, it's insuitable for /bin/sh
compatibility mode since it's hardly possible to develop portable sh
scripts with bash this way.
Repeat-By:
obvious from documentation.
