The operating system is irrelevant. It is not correct syntax. (If anyone
knows of any sh builtin test or standalone test(1) that allows a space in
the first string of the expression without being quoted, please let me
know. Normally (always?) you would get "too many arguments" or "unexpected
operator" or other error.)
I also agree that the test is probably not needed.
I don't know this code. I just happened to be building the release when I
noticed it. So I reported it.
Feel free to complain about error reports, but note that zero feedback is
probably worse.
