Anywayz, thanks geekmaster, that's sort of what I thought -- that something else is trying to force it back into ad-supported mode, and the file thwarts it. Except on my kindle it worked (and continues to work) without the file (5.0.4).

On the Kindle, you are not running Bash, you are running Ash.
On most distributions:
/bin/busybox ash
will get you an instance of the Ash command line shell.
(Most distributions have it installed because their "create initramfs" tools need it.)
