For my system, with bash the "echo -e" is fine, but with sh, it chokes...
els:ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
3938 pts/24 00:00:00 bash
3988 pts/24 00:00:00 ps
els:echo "hello\n1\n2\n3\n"
hello\n1\n2\n3\n
els:echo -e "hello\n1\n2\n3\n"
hello
1
2
3
els:exec /bin/sh
els:ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
3938 pts/24 00:00:00 sh
3991 pts/24 00:00:00 ps
els:echo "hello\n1\n2\n3\n"
hello
1
2
3
els:echo -e "hello\n1\n2\n3\n"
-e hello
1

Just noticed one other thing:
els:ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Feb 19 2014 /bin/sh -> dash
els:ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 986672 Oct 7 2014 /bin/bash
If you guys think my system is in a strange state; hence, I'm causing this
confusion, I'll just commit it as is.
