I've tried removing 'oexitstatus' completely, and also removing the
'exitstatus = 0' lines.

This gives a shell where:
	(exit 2); echo `echo $?; exit 3` $?
outputs "2 3".

This may be confusing, and may or may not be invalid!

However it seems to treat:
	(exit 3); eval echo $(echo \$?)
	(exit 3); eval echo `echo \$?`
differently.  The first gives 0, the second 3.
