Definitely easier, but... IMHO the problem should be squashed if at all
possible instead of having this workaround (and you can bet some Debian
maintainer would inadvertently switch it back within months ;)).

OK, so we have data point:
- worked on 0.9.1

And I can add:
- could be sudo-related ("echo" or "test" commands in the script
  don't hang) - but this could instead be a more global "shell builtins working"
  vs. "external commands hanging" issue...
  Will nail this data point down soon (once I can test again).
