It appears as if something odd is up there, the =22rm out.txt=22 has been=
 executed=20
as =22rm -f out.txt=22 so either there are aliases involved somewhere, in=
 which case
there is a =24ENV type script with unknown contents, or the script that i=
s
being tested isn't the script shown.

In either case, whatever happened needs to be discovered and understood
before looking for other possible bugs.
