test for hard links always fail with pdksh


A new wrinkle with hard links. If you are testing for them in pdksh, they will always fail. I.E.:

   if test -L links/$filename.$inumb
   then :
   else
      ln $filename $filename.$inumb
   fi

The above test will always fail and thus will always attempt to re-create the hard link.
