Works for me, though I only compiled an ran 'make check' with it.
The table of output in tests/command/t-test-1-indep-val.sh agrees with R.

When the documentation and the code disagree, invariably both are incorrect.

The attached patch a) Changes the behaviour of T-TEST to match other software; and b) Changes the manual to match the new behaviour.

as documented:

   If the independent variable is numeric, it is acceptable to specify
only one value inside the parentheses.  If you do this, cases where the
independent variable is less than  or equal to this value belong to the
first group, and cases greater than this value belong to the second
group.  When using this form of the GROUPS subcommand, missing values in
the independent variable are excluded on a listwise basis, regardless
of whether /MISSING=LISTWISE was specified.

the "or equal to" should be moved from less than to greater than as pspp is currently implemented, if implemented behavior is correct.  Or the implementation should be changed to match the documentation above.
