System: NetBSD robin 1.0A NetBSD 1.0A (ROBIN) #2: Fri Sep 1 12:18:58 MSZ 1995 root@robin:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROBIN i386

>Description:
	bash (1.12.1) and ksh (86/03/06) allow use of "return"
	in dotted scripts to leave the script. SunOS 4.1.2 /bin/sh
	complains "cannot return when not in function". NetBSD /bin/sh
	simply ignores this "return".
>How-To-Repeat:
	cat <<EOT >xxx
		return
		echo hello
	EOT
	chmod +x xxx
	. xxx
