  It has been my experiemce that teh behavior of the shipped
/bin/sh under Ultirx 3.1 on our DecStation 3100's is rather
broken.  The system V shell interacts badly with some of the
shell scripts that we use.
  What I want to know is this:  What are the rest of the people in
the worl doing about this.  We have work-around at this time, but
I would like to have a more "standard" solution...

  Also, if anybody can give a quick run-down oh exactly how the
default /bin/sh is busted, I would like to hear it.  Thanks.
