Ah yes, Debian is using dash the Defective Annoying SHell.  Doesn't understand 
dir/{file1,file2}, ctrl-c will kill background tasks, forces you to say "." 
instead of source...  Generally "not a real shell at all".

I strongly recommend "sudo -f bash /bin/sh", but I can change configure to 
start with #!/bin/bash if you insist...

But I'm not that interested in making extensive changes to the script to humor 
a broken shell.
