Hi, Dash does not ignore the -e option in substitutions $(...) under AND/OR lists and conditions. For example, in the program
set -e echo "$(echo X; false; echo Y)" || true the command `false` seems to interrupt the sequence and only X is printed (tested with dash 0.5.8.2 and git master). But according to my understanding of the POSIX specifications, `set -e` should be ignored under the OR list and X and Y should be printed . The same behaviour can be observed when using the substitution in the condition of a while, until, and if. In contrast, set -e is effectively ignored in normal subshells under AND/OR lists and conditions (e.g., `set -e; (echo X; false; echo Y) || true` prints X and Y). Is this a bug in dash or in my understanding?
