* Version 5.3.1.
+ * tests/mv/mv-special-1: Use test -p to test for fifos, rather
+ than the (incorrect) test -f and the (inadequate) ls. ls is
+ inadequate because on some hosts a buggy mv will create a file of
+ the wrong type (problem reported by Eric Blake). Skip this test
+ if test -p doesn't work.
+
* tests/chmod/setgid: Use numeric group ids, not symbolic group names,
since the latter can have shell metacharacters in them (e.g., spaces).
This follows up to the 2005-01-17 patch, which missed this occurrence.
