The standard requires that unsetting an unset variable or function will NOT be treated as an error. See http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/utilities/unset.html >How-To-Repeat: /bin/sh -c 'set -e ; BONK= ; unset BONK ; unset BONK ; echo good' /bin/sh -c 'set -e ; f() {} ; unset -f f ; unset -f f ; echo good' If either test prints nothing, it's broken. If either test prints good, it's fine. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-standards" in the body of the message
