This is not related to my problem since I am not running the script
using ./foo.sh but directly using the proper shell.  sh just behaves
differently, that looks odd so I would like to know if it is a bug in sh
or if there is no specification for this and the behaviour depends of
the implementation of each shell, in which case I have to tweak the
script I am porting to avoid this construct (passing $? as an argument
for example).
