Try the following : ls -li /bin/{[,test}
You'll see that [ and test have the same inode number. This is because
they are the same program. Try reading the manpage for [(1) ('man [').

This file is present on my sparc64 machine which I installed from the
official 4.1 CD. I think you'll find that base4x.tgz has this hardlink
and installs it each and every time ;)
