I was on vacation last week, so I didn't get your mail until today.

This test isn't one of the ones I added.  There are only 127 tests in the
version of wordexp-test.c that I have (i.e. the 2.1.2 version plus my patch).

Without seeing the code for the test, it's hard to guess what might be
wrong.  If you can send me the latest wordexp-test.c I'll investigate. 

Geoff.
