Thanks, this will be a PITA for a while (again). Another developer had
patched /bin/dash so that it was effectively broken, to the point where
./configure scripts would decide on their own use bash instead (even if
you set /bin/sh to point to dash). This "fixed" the errors, but meant
that everyone who thought he switched to dash was actually still using
slow old bash for every build. I undid that patch (so that now dash acts
like it does upstream), but as a result there's going to be a bunch of
previously-hidden bashisms in ./configure scripts that need to be fixed.
