Hi,

(at least) the mbd-qa-check relies on error handling behaviour of bash <=3.

More precisely, a snippet like this

---
set -e
( false )
RET=$?
---

would just continue with the subshell's retval in variable "RET"
in bash3, but error-exit in bash4 after the sub shell.

At least the construct in mbd-qa-check suffers this problem
(lines 349ff). This essentially breaks mosts builds (i.e., those
with warning in any of the checks).

Thx,

Stephan
