Logged In: YES user_id=412110 The test suite already uses $PATH to run ls (as does other software, which is why I don't get into a lot of trouble). It merely uses /bin/ls as a filename to pass to ls so it can check the output. Any other filename will do just as well here, and the fix is extremely simple; what's the benefit of listing /bin/ls in particular that makes it worth risk breaking on systems like this?
