Uhh, excuse me, but please do NOT assume that because the string "sh:"
appears in the "core dumped" message that it's the shell that's dumping
core.  ...

	1) The bug that causes "/bin/sh" to drop core is not the same as
	   the bug that causes Perl 3.0, as distributed, to drop core on
	   a SPARC-based machine when you run "make test".

What bug that causes "/bin/sh" to drop core?  In the first quoted
article by you, you said that "/bin/sh" wasn't dropping core at all.
Have you found out that it is now?
