Hi Andrew,

I should probably point out that Ubuntu *doesn't* use bash by default. 
Ubuntu changed to "dash" some releases ago.  It's largely a drop in
replacement, but some "bashism's" aren't portable, which is why some
third party scripts still fail.

$ ls -al /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2009-05-15 12:43 /bin/sh -> dash

<SNIP>

Kind Regards,
