But ash has some annoying bugs, such as:

~/tmp-0% ash -c 'echo ${tmp:=`echo foo`}'
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ash -c echo ${tmp:=`echo foo`}
~/tmp-139%

as well as:

~/tmp-0% ash -c 'f () { sleep 10; echo hello; }; f & f & f & f & f & f; wait'
f: not found
f: not found
f: not found
f: not found
f: not found
~/tmp-0%

I also hit another one last time I tried to make it /bin/sh (a core dump when
more than 4 processes were running in the background: it seems to have been
partly fixed).
Furthermore, my startup scripts can be made much cleaner by using `type -type'
which is sadly not implemented in ash.
