just a guess, but I would say: man test

this one might be catched by the PATH environent settings before it finds the
test in your

Also, generally "." is not in anyone's PATH!  I've seen very few distributions where this is true and is regarded to be generally unsafe... to run a tool in the current directory you should always use ./.  Not to mention "test" is a Bash built-in.
