hilfy:202 Z$ /bin/expr ad0 : '^ad\([0-9]\)$'
0
zsh: exit 1     /bin/expr ad0 : '^ad\([0-9]\)$'

(Solaris 8 box)

The Solaris manpage claims:

EXIT STATUS
     As a side effect of expression evaluation, expr returns  the
     following exit values:
(...)
     1     if the expression is either NULL or 0

So it looks like correct behavior, if slightly odd in this particular
context.
