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.
