Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.04LTS
pm-utils 1.4.1-13ubuntu0.1

When issuing the pm-suspend command, the scripts set the HIBERNATE_MODE in /sys/power/disk to "suspend".
There is some shell magic to save the previous setting in variable HIBERNATE_MODE_SAVE, but this fails under
the default shell /bin/dash (works correctly with /bin/bash).

Effect: if you use pm-suspend once, the effective HIBERNATE_MODE in /sys/power/disk stays in "suspend", and
any subsequent pm-hibernate will also just do a suspend instead of "platform" or "shutdown".
