 :(
 
 I'm running IRIX 6.5.29 (IRIX64):
 
 $ cat test.sh
 #!/bin/sh
 
 set -e
 
 testf () {
         test -f /nonexistent || return 1
         return 0
 }
 
 if testf; then
         exit 1
 fi
 exit 0
 $ ./test.sh ; echo $?
 0
 
 ... if I'm understanding correctly then that should be a "1", yes?
 
 P.S. Please see my other mail about "fetch" apparently not being
 called.  Very strange...
