I beg to differ --- I think the ones quoted above match your symptoms
pretty well.  So the question is: why are they getting used in a
noninteractive script?

My bet is that you've defined these aliases in the wrong place.
I'm not sure about Solaris, but on Linux one conventionally puts
aliases like these in ~/.bashrc, which I think is not read by
plain sh.  If you've put them in ~/.profile they are very likely
to break shell scripts.
