Thanks for letting me know.  This is important (and a regression), but
it should be possible to work around in ocamlbuild as easily as using
"bash", so I don't see why that would make it release-critical.

I'll investigate further to see if the underlying problem is an
assumption in the relevant scripts that would be violated by ksh93,
too, or just a dash bug.

Thanks,
Jonathan
