Well, from another point of view, both were wrong. :) The manual
documented behaviour which didn't exist, so it was wrong. In another
sense, the code behaved in a fashion which had a very high WTF factor,
so it couild be called 'wrong' too.

An easy way to set and check the exit status of a PHP script would
make a lot of life a hell of a lot easier.
