It is generally unwise ever to name anything "test" in UNIX. There is a
'test' command in UNIX for comparing strings and checking the existance of
files, directories, etc. If you execute the UNIX 'test' command with no
arguments it returns a negative value (non-zero in UNIX). Suggest you
change the name of your class to "Mytest" or something other than "test"
