Non POSIX.2 compliance in sh and ksh



Hello,

If I read correctly SUSv4, for the sh(1) unset builtin:

	Unsetting a variable or function that was not previously set shall
	not be considered an error and does not cause the shell to abort.

But if one unset a variable not set, the return status is 1 aborting
the script if -e is set.

I'm on NetBSD 6.1.5_PATCH amd64.

This happens with /bin/ksh and /bin/sh.

Best regards,
