Bash Version: 4.2 Patch Level: 8 Release Status: release Description: Following a report about a year ago, the determination of the executable status used by bash's built-in test command was changed. The original issue was that the access(2) family of functions may indicate success for X_OK, even if the file does not actually have any execute permission bits set. This is allowed by the specification for historical reasons, even though discouraged for new implementations (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/faccessat.html). On FreeBSD which provides faccessat(2) as well as eaccass(2), this causes test -x to report false positives.
