Indeed, I was surprised to see another one today.

It made me wonder how I had missed it in my own testing.
This one requires SHELL_PATH to be bash, while I only set
TEST_SHELL_PATH to bash for the improved -x tracing in the
fedora builds.

I ran the tests again with SHELL_PATH as bash on fedora and
this was the only failure I saw (other than the one from my
earlier message, that is).
