Not fixed in Solaris 8:

    $ ps -fp $$
         UID   PID  PPID  C    STIME TTY      TIME CMD
     mgerdts  7104 12228  0 11:34:30 pts/1    0:00 /bin/sh
    $ what /bin/sh
    /bin/sh:
            SunOS 5.8 Generic 109324-04 October 2001
    $ ls -l foo
    lrwxrwxrwx   1 mgerdts  cns            8 Mar 14 11:34 foo -> /nowhere
    $ ls -l /nowhere
    /nowhere: No such file or directory
    $ if [ -L foo ] ; then echo "foo is a symlink" ;fi
    test: argument expected
    $ if test -L foo ; then echo "foo is a symlink" ; fi
    test: argument expected
    $ 

Just a while ago I mentioned that this was broken with rev 02 of the
same patch.  According to Sunsolve, rev 04 is the latest.
