Dash is somewhat stricter in its implementation of POSIX than bash (it's main focus is to be lighter than bash so as to allow quicker booting). POSIX declares that the "source" command should check the path when given a filename without path components. Bash relaxes this somewhat by also checking the current directory. Dash DOESN'T do this. That is, assuming somefile.sh is in the current directory, "source somefile.sh" will work in bash, but not dash. To fix this bashism, use "source ./somefile.sh".
