Thanks for the report, I was told the same by Krzysztof Kozlowski (added
to Ccs) earlier today, I don't have any "old" machines like this around
so didn't notice when I checked unfortunately :(


I've suggested either just reverting this (I'll keep my local
workaround) or going through /bin/sh which is always safe like the
following patch -- leaving this to maintainers.

Thanks!
