--- Comment #7 from Jan Beich <jbeich at vfemail.net> ---
|test -f| isn't reliable

  $ ln -s foo bar
  $ [ -f bar ]; echo $?
  1
  $ touch foo
  $ [ -f bar ]; echo $?
  0

while test(1) mangpage says:

  If file is a symbolic link, test will fully dereference it and then
  evaluate the expression against the file referenced, except for the -h
  and -L primaries.
