Many regression test failures

[Bruce Dubbs]

I just ran the regression tests in a new build and got:

## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##
## ------------- ##

ERROR: 457 tests were run,
139 failed (4 expected failures).
46 tests were skipped.

I can send the testsuite.log, but it is quire large (1.3 MB).

What is out of the ordinary is that I cam using bash-5.0.

I'll give one example here, but I suspect most of the other failures are 
similar:
