That may be overkill, but I will say that I'm feeling *extremely* grateful
the last few days that we pushed forward with switching /bin/sh to dash,
even though some folks thought this was a bad idea.  Having the shell used
by system() and popen() be as simple as possible turns out to be rather
important.
