Pretty cool. I've put a few numbers for comparison in my weblog[1]:

sh NetBSD-current:       # tests 6856 passed 6856 failed 0
bash 2.05b.0(1):         # tests 6856 passed 5408 failed 1448
bash 3.00.16(1):         # tests 6856 passed 5408 failed 1448
ksh Solaris 9/x86:       # tests 6856 passed 4456 failed 2400
ksh NetBSD 2.0_STABLE:   # tests 6856 passed 2584 failed 4272
sh NetBSD 2.0_STABLE:    # tests 6856 passed 1176 failed 5680 ordered 1336
sh Solaris 9/x86:        aborts with "bad substitution"

BTW, maybe import that test script into src/regress?
