The bash user manual:

Alan is right that not everyone has bash, but on the other hand, *nobody
at all* has the actual /bin/sh from the Unix manual, so finding
documentation on what it could and could not do is hard and a little
pointless, but the autoconf manual has a rather good chapter on
"portable shell scripting":
http://www.gnu.org/s/hello/manual/autoconf/Portable-Shell.html
Also, since almost all people that have trouble with bash these days
seem to be running dash, I would guess this man page is useful:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/dash
and perhaps you could install a /bin/dash for testing.
Best wishes,
Taco
