The 'test_pause' function, which is designed to help interactive
debugging and exploration of tests, currently inherits the value of HOME
and TERM set by 'test-lib.sh': HOME="$TRASH_DIRECTORY" and TERM=dumb. It
also invokes the shell defined by SHELL_PATH, which defaults to /bin/sh.
that is a bug, it should have been TEST_SHELL_PATH instead.

goes without saying, that if you don't really need that shell for your
interactive session, nothing prevents you from calling bash and
resetting TERM or even HOME as needed
