Ah, ok.  I suppose this test was run on Solaris, and you have /usr/ucb
early in $PATH.  'touch -t' is POSIX, but not understood by
/usr/ucb/touch, so for that to work, /usr/bin should come before
/usr/ucb.

I'm applying this to master and branch-1-10 (the instsh2.test has since
been split up, and the parts your failure is dealing with are in
instsh3.test now), and putting you in THANKS.

Cheers,
Ralf

    Skip instsh3.test if `touch -t' does not work.
    
    * tests/instsh3.test: Test for `touch -t', fails with Solaris
    /usr/ucb/touch.
    * THANKS: Update.
