That command should have been expressed as either: $ /bin/test 1 -ne 0 or $ [ 1 -ne 0 ] Mixing `test' and `]' is not allowed, so producing an error message is the correct response. That said, the error message should have been: test: ]: unexpected operator and it is not clear why you are getting `[' reported as the program name. As far as I can tell, nothing related to test or errx(3) has been updated recently. (I'm not actually running -stable, so I can't confirm the behaviour).
