Hi Jeph and Ralf,
The problem is the same with cp/thru-dangling.
I'm hoping this works around the bogus shell in AIX 5.3:

Subject: [PATCH] set envvars via "env" to avoid spurious set -x output from bad 
shells

* tests/dd/misc: Set LC_ALL=C via env.
* tests/cp/thru-dangling: Set POSIXLY_CORRECT via env.
This is necessary at least on AIX 5.3.
