/bin/sh is linked to ksh on AIX (stupid though that may seem).
/bin/bsh is the REAL Bourne shell.  Does /bin/bsh work for you?  If
so, perhaps we should add this to the above release note so that those
who don't want to install bash don't have to.  Of course, if bsh
doesn't work, that should be a release notes as well.
