    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations because of a bad expected
    output file.

    This test fails because the expected output file does not contain
    trailing spaces at the end of 2 lines. Using an X to mark spaces
    and the conditions leading to the first missing space as an example.

    The test creates the file

    HereXweXhave
    aXtextXfile
    toXplayXwith

    The test then positions the cursor at the first character of
    the first line and performs the commands

    yw <<< yank the characters HereX
    fw <<< move to the w in we
    p <<< put the yanked characters after the w in we
    $ <<< move to the last character on the line
    . <<< put the yanked characters after the last character on the line

    Following this sequence you end up with the line

    HereXwHereXeXhaveHereX

    But the expected ouput file contains

    HereXwHereXeXhaveHere

    Notice the space inserted with the first put command, but
    not with the second. The expected output is missing this
    trailing space and another one on the following line.
    Test Output
    Assertion #139 (C): count . command
    Note: The testing requirements include testing for the dot and
    ampersand commands. This violates historical practice and may
    be changed in a future revision of POSIX.2, but it remains a
    normative requirement of the current standard.
