Actually the problem does technically lie with the configure script, since
it invokes /bin/sh on the shebang line. All Linux/Unix guarantees is that
a POSIX-compliant shell will be present -- nothing more. Ubuntu goes with
dash since it has a significantly smaller footprint than bash and yields
some performance benefits as a result.

Since every other distro goes with bash, those of us that have never used
Ubuntu are not trained to avoid bash-isms, like "==" instead of "=" ;)

I posted the update, it should hopefully be active shortly.

All the best,
Jason
