I'm not totally sure, but chapter-05  was build-able with dash as
/bin/sh last time I've tried, so if there is another confirmation the
above statement is not correct.

Also, though I don't have strong objection adding "nodump", but wouldn't
be more logical to fix the root of the cause, by adding the $SHELL
variable to Jhalfs, as Trent suggested?  So it can possible catch other
problematic situations that might occur for Jhalfs users?
