  Is ksh mandated by POSIX?  I was under the impression that it wasn't.

  In any event, you can run into portability problems if you use all the
"features" of bash that aren't supported by the traditional /bin/sh included
with many commercial Unixes.  Granted, this may be a matter of said commercial
Unixes not fully supporting POSIX, rather then bash doing something funky.  
The [[ ]] and $[ ] constructs come to mind.
