Perhaps I missed the discussion somewhere else but can you please
explain what this means and give an example of a short script that
doesn't work with /bin/sh?

You don't *have* to use bash.  You could probably get away with using
zsh or a number of other shells.  Personally and maybe I'm the only
one but I'd like to see all of the ports that require bash be changed
to use zsh instead because I've got that on most all of my systems
already. :)
