If your system is having a bad time, falling back to statically-linked /bin/csh can help you out in a jam, whereas pointing way off to /usr/local/bin/bash could spell trouble if say, you can not mount /usr. As prad pointed out, you can "su -m". I myself prefer "sudo -s". You could also just type "bash".
