And you tested this on Solaris? If so, what version? I don't see how
it would work for you.

Well, examine the following:
$ /bin/sh
$ test -X "/etc/passwd" || echo foo
test: argument expected

test: argument expected
Because the "echo foo" never gets called, it doesn't matter what is
placed after ||.
