tags 518359 confirmed fixed-upstream
thanks
I got a fix in mksh-current and am testing that right now; code similar
to the one in question from resolvconf has made it into an mksh testcase.
mksh now adheres more strict to the standard, so that scripts exploiting
them should work as expected (“set -e” had its issues in ancient shells).
It is interesting to note that, while there is a patch in Debian pdksh,
from the pdksh upstream which is dead since 1999, that that patch, while
“fixing” this bug, introduces problems in “set -e” handling breaking BSD
make (so it _was_ indeed the same part of the code), whereas OpenBSD made
a fix not breaking <bsd.subdir.mk> – GNU bash similarily fails there.
I’m not tagging this as “pending” yet because I’d like to get #518355 be-
forehand, but have no idea how to do so…
bye,
