Hi,

This issue was fixed with the 2.2.1-pre1 version (29 Apr 2006). But
thank you for pointing this out.

Although such a change will probably break a lot of Linux scripts, I
think it is generally a good idea. /bin/sh should (in my opinion) only
support minimal "common UNIX" shell commands and syntax. This helps to
keep /bin/sh scripts compatible across varying UNIX systems.

If someone specifically needs bash extensions, they should use /bin/bash
and not /bin/sh.
