[root bogofilter-0.9.1.2]# /bin/sh -version
/bin/sh -version
GNU sh, version 1.14.7(1)
[root bogofilter-0.9.1.2]# /bin/bash -version
GNU bash, version 1.14.7(1)
[root bogofilter-0.9.1.2]#

(double hyphens before "version" produces an error.)

/bin/sh appears to be a link to /bin/bash. Changing the shell script lines 
to /bin/bash produces the same error messages on "make check" (repeated 
for those who haven't seen them):

I HAVE had issues with running scripts on this machine - installing Judy, 
in fact. I ended up replacing a slew of double brackets [[]] with singles 
in order to run make. Then I discovered Judy was no longer needed. :-S
