    Problem Text
    The test may fail on all implementations if the test is run between
    56 minutes, 0 seconds and 59 minutes, 59 seconds during any hour.

    >From tp812():

    m=$(date "+%M")
    if [ $m -ge 57 ]
    then
    m="0-2"
    else
    m="$(expr $m + 2)-$(expr $m + 4)"
    fi
    echo "$m * * * * echo hi >>" $(pwd)/crontab_out_812_1 > crontab_in_812_c

    If the time happens to be 56 minutes past the hour (such as 1:56), the test
    will fail.

    m=$(date "+%M")

    m is equal to 56.

    if [ $m -ge 57 ]

    56 is not greater than or equal to 57, so we go to

    m="$(expr $m + 2)-$(expr $m + 4)"

    This results in m being set to 58-60

    According to the Standard, valid numbers for the minute field are 0 - 59.

    The line:

    if [ $m -ge 57 ]

    should be changed to:

    if [ $m -ge 56 ]
