The problem looks like it comes from the -e option. Bash 
only fails with the -e flag when a simple command yields a 
non-zero exit status, which correspond to POSIX shell 
behavior. So in this case, a Bash script does not fail. 
Other shells like Tcsh (and now Zsh) seem to exit on any 
command yielding a non-zero exit status.

Arg, even Bourne based shells cannot agree on these kind of 
things. In case there are many tests using this idiom, is 
there by chance any Zsh option/module/... to select POSIX 
compliant behavior?
