tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh
* tests/init.sh: Arrange not to accept FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, since
it fails this test: /bin/sh -c 'f(){ local s=$IFS; test -n "$s"; }; f'
* tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Stop-gap measure to work around
a bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh. We'll un-do this change once all
300+ tests use init.sh.
