And then, of course, it's possible that this is a Linux system which
has bash installed as /bin/sh :)  And then, of course, it's possible
that this is a *reasonable* Linux system with something else, e.g.
dash or ash or something, installed as /bin/sh, in which case Joseph's
recommendation holds.

This is also true.

Yep, this is the only way to be sure.
