Maybe. The current way was used because it was the laziest and had a low risk of new build system bugs. I haven't merged your patch to v5.0 yet. I haven't decided if the test script is safe enough there yet. It would be annoying if someone got a test failure in a stable release just because the test script uses a wrong shell. -- Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode
