I have been using bash for root shell some time now without noticing 
any problems. My bash is statically linked and I have moved it to 
/bin.

What kind of problems should I expect?

I even tried to replace /bin/sh with bash, but some startup script 
used 'set' builtin with -T option. Bash didn't like that. I didn't 
dig into that deeper.
