>Description:

There is a bug in ash's handling of the -e flag.  See the example below.

>How-To-Repeat:

$ cat >test.sh
if true; then
  false && true
fi
echo "test succeeded"
$ /bin/sh -e test.sh
zsh: 34546 exit 1     /bin/sh -e test.sh
$ bash -e test.sh
test succeeded

Bash works correctly.  If the 'if' statement is removed, ash also
works correctly.

>Fix:

unknown.
