tests: avoid the :> construct which can hide errors
On most shells `:>file || framework_failure_` will not evaluate
the framework_failure_ even if there was an error writing the file.
shells which do evaluate the failure are ksh 93u+ and bash 4.2,
while shells wich don't include bash 4.3, solaris, freebsd, dash.
Furthermore this construct is problematic on Solaris 10 sh,
which will try to optimize away a `:' command in a loop
after the first iteration, even if it is redirected.
