You might invoke the shell with /bin/sh, but that doesn't mean
it's really a Bourne shell. Maybe 'file /bin/sh' and 'ls -li
/bin/*sh' will tell you something.

But I guess it's not a freebsd-stable issue. The reason for not
having an -A option was stated as well as an alternative solution
("man ascii") has been provided several times.
