I have already said I would follow it up. But the problem exists today and shouldn't be left until we get an answer. Maybe it will take a week or a month, or there will be no good answer at all. All this does is issue a warning. This problem has happened to a number of users. So far the reponse has largely been 'fix it by hand and move on'. I think our reputation is and ought to be better than that. > Btw. test -e is not portable.
