[...]
Note that the Solaris (10 and before) sh in question is not a
POSIX shell, it's still the Bourne shell which is not POSIX
conformant in many different ways (the POSIX sh spec is based on
a subset of ksh88, not the Bourne shell). In those Solaris
systems, POSIX sh is /usr/xpg4/bin/sh (based on ksh88).
Note that Solaris 11 /bin/sh is no longer the Bourne shell. It's
now based on ksh93 so is now POSIX at last.
