[PATCH v2] t0005: work around strange $? in ksh93 when program terminated by a signal

From: Johannes Sixt <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:49:07
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Johannes Sixt <redacted>

ksh93 is known to report $? of programs that terminated by a signal as
256 + signal number instead of 128 + signal number like other POSIX
compliant shells. (ksh's behavior is still POSIX compliant in this regard.)

This may only be true for Ksh93.  The Ksh88 man page says that
the exit status is 128+signum.  The Public domain Korn shell, and
ksh on IRIX 6.5, Solaris 7, 9, and 10 all exit with the standard
behavior of 128+signum.
Thanks for you input!
