RE: bash's builtin "test" command kills bash on Windows Server 2003 R2


That was my thought. I get:

root@musicbox ~
$ type -a test
test is a shell builtin
test is /usr/bin/test

Ah, yes.  You mentioned that.  Sorry for my poor reading skills. ;-)

I currently don't have access to a 64-bit Windows (anything) but I find
it curious that "type -a" doesn't show you the 'test.exe' that you have
in '/bin' (and technically '/usr/bin') like I get when I do this (from
XP32).  I don't know what this really means.  I'm just throwing it out
as a peculiar difference.
