According to David Edelsohn <address@hidden>, AIX's /bin/sh and
/bin/ksh support $LINENO but have the same performance problem with
here documents.  That means the _test_ as implemented is not good
enough.  It may be possible to detect the problem and add a check for
it to the probe logic, but I can't reproduce the problem on any system
I have access to, so I can't write that check.
