We're already running bash - why do we need to spawn another bash and a
grep, when we can just check $BASH_VERSION?

tests/check-block.sh uses "#!/bin/sh", so it could be running with a
different kind of shell, I think.

Ah, right; I'm so used to most of our testsuite demanding bash that I forgot to check that this script sticks to the smaller subset of /bin/sh portability.
