I believe Solaris' sh is the Bourne shell. I am told that to get a POSIX shell on Solaris you would need to invoke /usr/XPG4/bin/sh. Can you try your experiment with Solaris' POSIX shell? /usr/XPG4/bin/sh -exc 'for x in a b c; do ( false ); echo status is $?; done' For what it is worth HP-UX /bin/sh behaves the same as bash for this case.
