Which shell is /bin/sh, and which is selected as CONFIG_SHELL?

There are probably too many things that can go wrong here (we've had
several bug reports about the parallel autotest tests; they have not
all been analyzed, and it's just as likely that some of the tests are
too strict, or some non-bash shells have unknown bugs).

Anyway, it's important to know which of the tests failed, and to see the
exact output from before that.  Did the `$CONFIG_SHELL ./micro-suite -d
-3 5- | sed 5q' get to test 5?  Was this GNU sed, and which version?

Cheers,
Ralf
