I'm forwarding this from one of my respected co-workers:
--v-v------------------C-U-T---H-E-R-E-------------------------v-v--
The following is located in the bash man pages (i.e. man bash) ...
EXIT STATUS
For the shell's purposes, a command which exits with a
zero exit status has succeeded. An exit status of zero
indicates success. A non-zero exit status indicates fail<AD>
ure. When a command terminates on a fatal signal, bash
uses the value of 128+signal as the exit status.
I have not been able to reproduce the 128+signal as an exit status;
(it always returns zero for me). Thus, I believe it is a bug.
