According to Jordan K. Hubbard:

Speaking of static shells, my static copy of tcsh inside /sbin saved my
machine yesterday... 

It crashed (softupdates I think) during "make installworld" leaving /bin/sh
as "rw-------" which makes booting rather difficult :-)

Booting single user and using /sbin/tcsh as shell enabled me to "make
installworld" again and getting my system back without going to fixit
floppies... It is useful to have a shell not affected by "make world"
inside "/".

I knew it would be handy one day <g>.
