 I should have said in this PR, that my (normal) working shell is
 /usr/pkg/bin/bash, and that's what ${SHELL} in my environment is
 set to, so another explanation for the expectation for that
 shell to exist is that it was simply expecting ${SHELL} from the
 environment to work (and what's more, to be a sh(1) compatible
 shell, which I know of no particularly good reason it should necessarily
 be).
 
 This added just for completeness, I don't know if it is relevant or not
 (bash was not installed when I first did the build, as I use pkg_comp
 with a mostly empty sandbox for most compiles).
