I don't have the original note handy, but I thought it was of the form
if [ ... ]
As the subject line noted, [ is a shell builtin in bash (and I think
even in sh of recent decades), so I don't see how it could be affected
by corruption of anything other than /bin/bash.exe.
If the original code was
if /bin/test ...
or
if /bin/[ ... ]
then it would be likelier.
