This is actually a bug in Solaris 8, which is fixed with patch 108827-40
(108828-40 for x86), so that the posix shell /usr/xpg4/bin/sh is run
instead.  This is fixed in Solaris 9 and up without a patch.

Just to add to the fun, the man page in Solaris 9 says it runs
/usr/xpg4/bin/ksh -- it's wrong.
