    Problem Summary TSD4C.00070 This test may fail on all implementations.
    Problem Text
    This test may fail on all implementations.

    This test attempts to execute the sh command via the env command. The
    test performs this as follows:

    env - sh $shellFile1

    Where "shellFile1" contains various "sh" commands. The env command, according
    to the X/Open CAE specification, functions as follows:

    "The env utility will obtain the current environment, modify it
    according to it's arguments, then invoke the utility operand with
    the modified environment"

    The "-" option, according to the X/Open CAE specification, modifies the
    functionality as follows:

    "Invoke the utility with exactly the environment specified by the
    arguments; the inherited environment will be ignored completely."

    In the test, no arguments are specified for "env" and the "-" option is
    specified. Therefore, "env" attempts to invoke the utility "sh" with no
    specified environment and no inherited environment. Since the search path
    "PATH" has been undefined at the time "env" attempts to invoke "sh", the
    "sh" command cannot be found and the test will always fail.
