    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations because the expected
    prompts do not match the standard.

    The description of the rm utility describes the expected sequence
    of prompts when a directory is removed using the -i option:

    2. If file is of type directory, the following
    steps are taken:

    a. If neither the -R option nor the -r
    option is specified, write a diagnostic
    message to standard error, do nothing
    more with file, and go on to any
    remaining files.

    b. If the -f option is not specified, and
    either the permissions of file do not
    permit writing and the standard input is
    a terminal or the -i option is
    specified, write a prompt to standard
    error and read a line from the standard
    input. If the response is not
    affirmative, do nothing more with the
    current file and go on to any remaining
    files.

    c. For each entry contained in file, other
    than dot or dot-dot, the four steps
    listed here (1-4) are taken with the
    entry as if it were a file operand.

    d. If the -i option is specified, write a
    prompt to standard error and read a line
    from the standard input. If the
    response is not affirmative, do nothing
    more with the current file, and go on to
    any remaining files.

    The tests do not allow for the prompt mandated by 2.b. This causes
    them to fail.
