Folks, we have no idea what you are talking about. Of course exit status works in the Hurd according to POSIX just like everywhere else. If there is a problem, it is a bug. But this is the first we've heard of it. If you have found a bug, then submit a coherent bug report to bug-hurd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
