	Nope. Not until the other shells have been tested. Reliability. 
 Fault tolerance. Dependabilty. OK?

	I don't use Solaris. I restrict myself to digital UNXI, AIX,
 And HP-UX. Anyway, broken shells on other operating systems
 are not my concern. I never advocate changing Debian to accomodate
 breajage on Windows 95, for example.
