Just in case someone wonders but doesn't dare ask:
bash as expected:
$ echo 'foo\nbar'
foo\nbar
$ echo -e 'foo\nbar'
foo
bar
But dash:
$ echo 'foo\nbar'
foo
bar
$ echo -e 'foo\nbar'
-e foo
bar
(According to Debian Popularity Contest[1] "dash" is used in more than
10.000 Debian installations, although it doesn't say if it is used for
/bin/sh.)

Stephan
