* The bash command shell is now installed with Mac OS X, and has

zsh as the default /bin/sh (r. 2809843).
Any differences this will make to the actions/behaviour/results of "do
shell script" or redirections from it?
Redirections, no; behavior, yes in some cases. A few people at Apple
had shell scripts break during the initial zsh/bash switch; if I
remember right the problems had to do with certain forms of variable
expansion. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact details, but
essentially, zsh didn't emulate sh quite right in a few places, while
bash is more faithful.
