I remembered this, but did not attempt to
"manufacture" an alternative "successful" status code.
It would be nice if we could figure out a way to make
everything work as expected on that OS. Would 1 be
the most basic "successful" exit status? Does anyone
know?
Also, I found in the course of composing this missive
that there is a comment in Execute.isFailure(int
exitValue) saying that ODD exit codes indicate
failure, then returns (exitValue % 2 == 0). I will
commit the s/odd/even here.
