Thanks for pointing out this issue. We use /bin/sh so we're not running into this issue. However, I investigated a bit more and found out that it relates to the use of "local". See e.g. http://superuser.com/questions/363444/how-do-i-get-the-output-and-exit-value-of-a-subshell-when-using-bash-e/1103711#1103711 for an explanation. Fortunately this is easy enough to work around. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
