It's easy enough to ask for both, but if folks feel strongly it should stay the
way it is, I'll leave it. If we separate them, we'll have to add posix exit to
what gets turned on under bash, but that's easy to do.

Same bug as PERL_VMS_POSIX_EXIT:
gnv_unix_shell = 0;
status = simple_trnlnm("GNV$UNIX_SHELL", val_str, sizeof(val_str));
if ($VMS_STATUS_SUCCESS(status)) {
gnv_unix_shell = 1;
If the length of the equivalence name is odd, then status will test as a
successful VMS status and it will work. But that whole problem is now fixed in
blead:

I will try to get this into 5.20.1 but it will be in 5.22 in any case. Since
"bash" has an even number of characters in it, I don't see a reasonable
short-term workaround.
