Well, there isn't a real technical reason why we support bash only, it's just
that the current code kind of relies on it to work and has never been testing
with anything else but the bash-like dash and maybe the POSIX-compatible
dash/bash sh-emulation.

ksh is bash-like enough to by chance "just work".

You'll see weird behavior with csh and others, though.

Besides making all remote calls POSIX sh-compatible, I wouldn't know how to fix
the problem. And I'm not even sure csh and friends *are* POSIX sh-compatible,
without looking it up first...

That wasn't meant as a "bash or die" statement, but given the current state of
affairs, it comes close to that.
