oh, your setence made me understand now:
in the past, we used to run "ln -sf test $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%_bindir/[" in
our spec file, thus overwriting [ with a symlink to test, resulting in
ARGV[0] always be test.
upstream changes brooke this and i didn't notice it hence the buggy
bug report. sorry :-(

i'll upload a new package with a better fix (aka removing the extra
linking)
