      Job wiredtiger-test-check-long started to fail recently since running on the new Jenkins machines (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). [[ is a valid 'bash' syntax while not recognised by 'dash' - the default 'sh' on Ubuntu OS.

      + cleanup
      + status=2 

      The code segment that had the syntax error:

      while [[ $# -gt 0 ]] ; do
              if test "$1" == "NOCREATE"; then
                      create=0
              else
                      wtarg+=" $1"
              fi
              shift # Consume this arg
      done 

      We could either fix the while loop line to be compatible with 'dash', or specify 'bash' on the shebang line.
