    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations that do not handle non-regular
    files properly because the standard only specifies support of regular files.

    tp1009 calls ga11 to check uuto with a fifo, a directory, and a regular file.
    ga11 can not be used to test uuto since uuto is a shell script and it uses
    'ls -a' if it gets passed a directory as an argument.

    First uuto.sh is calling ga11 incorrectly, it uses `pwd` instead of $T_PREFIX:
    # INCORRECT CALL to ga11:
    ga11 -skipsize $T_PREFIX/uuto_1009_in uuto `pwd`/uuto_1009_in $_L_SYS!$VSC_
    TESTER > uuto_err_9_1 2>&1

    # CORRECT call to ga11:
    ga11 -skipsize $T_PREFIX/uuto_1009_in uuto $T_PREFIX/uuto_1009_in $_L_SYS!$V
    SC_TESTER > uuto_err_9_1 2>&1

    When we corrected the call to ga11, we discovered that uuto was passing
    the fifo and regular file portion of the test but was failing the directory
    portion of the test. This is because uuto is a shell script and when an
    argument to it is a directory it does 'ls -a'. This will update the access
    time of the directory thereby causing the directory portion of ga11 to fail...
    Even though uuto returns a nonzero and copies no files as it should.
