ash-based MirBSD #8 sh and pdksh-based mksh R26 too:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/tg $ /bin/sh -c 'false; eval 'foo=$?'; echo $foo'
0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/tg $ /bin/mksh -c 'false; eval 'foo=$?'; echo $foo'
0

I have no idea why, or what's expected - in my experience,
using "eval" at all is prone to cause many many errors.

PS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or misc@openbsd.org would have been more
    appropriate for that. For this, I added miros-discuss...
