You're correct, it is unwise :-)
I thought to myself, "will have to change the shebang lines" - my fingers
didn't get the message..... the other two problems with that script:
- no "set -e"
- no line after the failing line to test that the script exits on that
failure. It does so even without the "set -e".

No, definitely a good idea to specify bash when using its extensions, IMHO
:-)
