[lug] Bizarre behaviour? XTerm runs test program?

[Hugh Brown]

If you changed your path, it may have picked up the little program named
test.

A lot of shell scripts use test or [ ] to check various parameters.
This bit me once a long time ago, I was writing a little test program
and named it test and couldn't figure out why I couldn't get it to run
like I thought it should.
