On Sequents, the Bourne shell in the BSD universe comes from Berzerkeley, and
does not have test builtin.  However, the Bourne shell in the ATT universe
is derived from Sys V.2, and does have test builtin.  It returns the same
exit codes as the Sun.

Apparently this is just one of the ways that they differ.
