Pascal,

Yes, the default is Zsh, but if you're upgrading from an earlier MacOS I think it's supposed to stay on bash 
unless you overtly change it. It certainly has for me. What's returned by `sudo ls /var/select/sh`?

The reason I ask is that while calling the shell sh it's supposed to make it POSIX compliant the different 
shells implement their builtins differently. In theory if they're called with /bin/sh they should use 
/bin/test instead of their builtin I don't trust them. In particular, zsh's use of -o in its conditional 
expressions is different from the POSIX spec 
(https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/test.html): It means 'or' in test and bash but is 
a unary option test in zsh, which uses the C-style || for 'or'. All of the lines that you got errors on 
include -o.

I just noticed I18DIR, set at line 41. That would be an even better replacement than $bundle_data/locale at 
line 123.
