I doubt whether any of those shells are actually compatible with Solaris 
10 /bin/sh: its builtin 'echo' has behavior that depends on whether 
/usr/ucb precedes /usr/bin in the PATH. If so, its 'echo' outputs 
backslashes as-is; if not, it treats them as POSIX XSI requires. Both 
behaviors conform to core POSIX.

Solaris 10 /bin/sh fails to conform to POSIX in many other areas, of course.

I'll be happy when Solaris 10 /bin/sh goes away in January 2025 (unless 
Oracle extends the deadline further...).
