	Unfortunately, this test isn't terribly revealing: the shell
handles 'echo foo', '< /dev/ugen0', and '> out', so I wouldn't be
surprised if you'd get this output file even if the command as a whole
failed.
	The interesting part would have been to see whether the
'</dev/ugen0' succeeded, or whether it failed the same way that ColdSync
does. So maybe this wasn't the best test in the world. Maybe 'dd
if=/dev/ugen0 of=/dev/null' would be better.
