never seen that.  i don't see what the problem is
by simple inspection.  but i have confused the
installer on occasion.

if you can't get back on track by forcing the step
by just typing it at the prompt,  the easiest trick
might be something like this at the installer prompt:

	!rc
	# cp /bin/test /tmp/builtintest
	# {echo '#!/bin/rc'
		echo '/tmp/builtintest $* ||
		echo >[1=2] failed test args: $*}>/tmp/test
	# chmod a+x /tmp/test
	# bind /tmp/test /bin/test

this will at the least tell us what the full arguments
to test were.  and maybe give you some ideas on what
to do next.
