beanshell [PSARC/2009/270 FastTrack timeout 05/06/2009]

[Garrett D'Amore]

As I also feared, "bsh" is also conflated with Bourne shell on other 
operating systems:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds1/bsh.htm

(The above is from AIX.)

So, I guess the question here for ARC is whether "familiarity" with 
Linux or familiarity with AIX is more important.  I suspect I know the 
answer, although were it up to me, I'd just skip the confusion by 
denying *any* use of bsh going forward...
