I attempted to send the following earlier. If someone runs sendmail

Subject: test -x is broken under Ultrix
Index:	bin/test 4.2BSD
X-how-are-you-supposed-to-fill-out-Index: ??

Description:
	``test -x filename'' fails with ``test: argument expected'',
	however ``test -xfilename'' works fine. Furthermore, -x
	is not documented in the test manpage under Ultrix, however
	this seems to be 4.2BSD documentation bug. It also ocurrs
	on SIPB VAXen.
Repeat-By:
	See above.
Fix:
	The fix is presumably a trivial fix to test, which seems to be
	in a fascist source tree (sigh...). The manpage fix is certainly
	trivial.
