Strange. It's the default shell on the Solaris box at uni (and has
been for years) and I don't think this has ever caused much of a problem.
Actually, we have a newer version there than on Debian, because our
system admin has added some new features -- but these have been
contributed upstream too I'm told, so ours may be out of date.
I run it as my shell on all my accounts and I've never noticed this.
