Actually, looks like the file created is "conflict", and the tested
conflict executable is "conflict.exe". It doesn't look like .exe is part
of FileTypes by default, so no conflict is found. Another clue is that
"conflict -t.exe." works... FWIW, "." is explicitly added to the PATH in
run_test.sh.
BTW, while we're discussing run_test.sh, would it be possible to first
create a unique directory, and then create the test executable in that
directory, instead of doing it straight in /tmp? Something like
DIR=`mktemp -d /tmp/conflict.$$.XXXXXXXX`
cd $DIR
touch conflict
chmod 755 conflict
$PROG
rm -f conflict
cd /tmp
rm -rf $DIR
I can submit the above as a patch if it helps.
