Bash's test suite prints a ton of warnings like

warning: UNIX versions number signals and schedule processes differently.
warning: If output differing only in line numbers is produced, please
warning: do not consider this a test failure.

or

warning: please do not consider output differing only in the amount of
warning: white space to be an error.

and indeed some of the tests then fail. Rather than fight with this
non-determinism, let's exclude bash from ptesting.
