Comment(by leif):

 Thanks, I wanted to make exactly the same change weeks ago... (replacing
 the dash in the name by an underscore).

 Also, {{{source}}} should be replaced by {{{.}}} (period). (At #9960 or
 here.)

 (Note that this error message has always been there; you just had to look
 into {{{/dev/null}}}... ;-) Redirecting {{{stderr}}} to Nirvana is rarely
 a good idea.)

 ----

 Although the Makefile shouldn't break the assumption that we're using
 {{{bash}}}; so either {{{sage-env}}} should be removed there, or the line
 should be {{{bash -c ...}}}, or {{{/usr/bin/env bash -c ...}}}. There are
 various ways to fix that.

 I wonder if {{{sage-starts}}} shouldn't use {{{bash}}} (instead of
 {{{sh}}}) and itself source {{{sage-env}}}; then we could drop {{{.
 local/bin/sage-env &&}}} from {{{TESTPRELIMS}}}. (This would IMHO be
 cleaner.)
