No.  dynamic-forward.sh is sourced by test-exec.sh rather than being
executed, and test-exec.sh is interpretted by $TEST_SHELL, which
configure has determined to (hopefully) be somewhat functional.

The issue is not with how  dynamic-forward.sh is interpreted, it's
with what ssh(1) does with its ProxyCommand, which is to give it to
the user's login shell to be parsed and executed.  The command at
issue would also not work if invoked outside of dynamic-forward.sh for
users with tcsh as their login shell.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
