Thanks for looking into this.  I prefer not to paper over any bugs that
we don't understand, though.

If you are willing to look into this more, it's got to do with 'set -e'.

Note that while heirloom and Solaris sh are similar, they aren't
identical, and I wouldn't want to invest work into fixing issues
that are in the former only, since it's definitely not a normal
development environment.  This test fails on Solaris as well though.

Cheers,
Ralf
