Subject: The #13182 didn't really help.  The real problem
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e2a97a6830e320aea4080daa62a7cee8c91e9df;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

The #13182 didn't really help.  The real problem
seems to be that 'sh' can in AIX mean at least three
different things, and we can't know which one it is
unless we export $newsh from an earlier run (and it's
the 'bsh' aka 'sh' that has the the broken test -h).
