    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations because it relies on
    undefined tilde expansion behavior.

    Consider line 1619 of uux.sh:
    eval ls -d ~$VSC_TESTER > uux_25_eso 2> /dev/null

    CAE Specification, Commands and Utilities Issue 4, Version 2, section
    2.6.1, last sentence of the first paragraph under Tilde Expansion:
    "If the system does not recognise the login name, the results are
    unspecified."

    The test suite expects the tilde not to be expanded the first time
    because "~$VSC_TESTER" is not a valid username. It expects that
    the $VSC_TESTER be expanded first and the tilde expansion occur
    when the eval is executed.

    The implementation under test expands ~ to /tmp/usr/vsc0 (the tester's
    home) and then expands $VSC_TESTER to VSC0.
    The test is unresolved because the ls -ld /tmp/usr/vsc0VSC0 fails.

    The test should be changed so that it does not expect unspecified
    behavior.
