On my debian system /bin/sh is just a symbolic link to /bin/bash. When you
invoke bash as sh, it reverts to 'traditional' sh behavior and disables
bash specific add-ons.
the 'real' sh executables I've seen are usually light-weight stripped down
shells suitable for rescue disks etc, where you probably want statically
linked small footprint stuff - but its still the basic sh shell that I
believe you will find on every GNU Linux and from my limited experience
Unix system.
