Any idea why bash hangs on this code?

Also, if no idea, how do I make bash run /bin/sh on some shells?  The
methods I know don't work.

I am running:

ISC2.0.2 SysV3.2 on a 386

# start of shell
# repair database

# *****  it hangs between here and ....

exec 4<sparms 0<&4
read head
read dash
read $head
exec 4<&0 0<&4

# *****  here

[ other shell commands ]
