    Problem Text

    tp1022() has a bug with shell quoting. Double quotes are being
    used on the source file and the test is expecting that the shell
    will expand it.

    Section 2.2.3 in the X/Open CAE Specification states the following:
    Enclosing characters in double-quotes("") preserves the literal
    value of all characters within double-quotes, with the exception
    of the characters dollar-sign, backquote and backslash, etc.

    A suggested change would be to change line 1556 to use $PWD instead
    of `pwd` and not use double quotes.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The test is purposely quoting the source-file argument and is not
    expecting the shell to do the expansion.

    The OPERANDS section of the uucp utility section makes the following
    statement regarding the destination-file and source-file requirements,

    The shell pattern matching notation characters ?, * and [...]
    appearing in pathname will be expanded on the appropriate
    system.

    Thus, if a remote pathname is specified, the filename expansion will
    occur on the remote system.

    In this test, the use of the backquoted pwd command and does not
    affect the outcome of the test, since both are evaluated by the local
    shell.
