That's not actually an error, rather a warning that when no-segfault.R
tests something silly the shell objects. It is normal on machines with
real sh (rather than bash), and as it resulted from a change made on the
day of release it was not corrected.

No. The idea is that the tests run, not that they give the same error
messages everywhere.
