Just got results from Mac OS X, which also fail with
"argument list too long", but the log is more helpful:

(I trimmed the "0000...." filename for this email).

Seems like test doesn't like '*' as first argument.

Verified with OpenBSD:
  $ test '*' -lt 1
  ksh: *: unexpected `*'

And FreeBSD:
  $ test '*' -lt 1
  test: *: bad number
  $ echo $SHELL
  /bin/sh
