which was unnecessarily changed in revision 1.50 while fixing other bugs.
That is, exit the shell if the last command in a || or && compound statement
is not short-circuited, and exits with a false status. I.e., the following
will cause the shell to exit:
set -e
false || false
While this is not the prescribed behavior in SUSv3, it is what our man page
documents, and it is what all of the following implementations do:
NetBSD /bin/ksh (pdksh)
bash
zsh
Solaris 9 /bin/sh
Solaris 9 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
Solaris 9 /usr/bin/ksh
Tru64 /bin/sh
HP/UX 11 /bin/sh
The "standard" seems to be wrong in this instance.
