Specifically, the assumption should be that $SHELL is never involved  
in any shell scripting decision.  As I noted in another message, as  
far as the "system" is concerned there is only one shell, /bin/sh.    
All the others are conveniences, nothing more, and should never be in  
the default execution path for anything but the user's login process  
since, as has already been pointed out, this could be anything from  
tcsh to the plan 9 shell (rc).
