If bash is installed as /bin/bash, you can change the first line of the
script to

        #! /bin/bash

to avoid the problem.

You could also replace line 86 by:
           if [ -n "$2" -a -n "${2%%-*}" ]; then
which is portable to Bourne sh AFAIK (and a better solution for dosemu
itself -- some distributions don't like /bin/bash scripts).
