Apparently, csh programming is considered harmful.

pdksh has put on weight. Used to be ~300k in the 4.* days and bash
about 500k IIRC. On my machine bash is bigger than yours (newer version?):

$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  676752 Nov  9 11:57 /usr/local/bin/bash

Don't know why bash is writable by root but sh & ksh aren't. 

Seems like I've ended up with bash installed whether I like it or not:

$ pkg_info -R bash-3.2.25
Information for bash-3.2.25:

Required by:
gnome-doc-utils-0.12.0
libgnome-2.20.1.1_1
rarian-0.6.0_1
