ksh also is broken.
>Description:
	Run the following script:

--- SNIP ---
#!/bin/sh
set -e
(false)
echo $?
false
echo $?
--- SNIP ---

	Observe it print "1", when it should really not print anything.

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.

>Fix:
	This behaviour was broken in sh by eval.c rev. 1.58, which
	was supposed to fix bin/11542. I'm not going to argue whether
	that PR is correct or not, but at least the current behaviour
	is broken.
