POSIX says
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_08_02):

     If a command is not found, the exit status shall be 127. If the
     command name is found, but it is not an executable utility, the exit
     status shall be 126.

That sounds like a bit of a grey area -- is ENAMETOOLONG nearer to ENOENT or EACCES? Maybe it's best to make the test allow either (given that it's not a test of shell behaviour).

I can update the test to do that, but it probably won't be until the new year I'm afraid.
