I have had another look at this and simplified it a bit. Basically
cmd_process() was the point of unification for command execution, so I
have made that always return either 0 or 1. I think that should solve
any problems. I will send out a v4 series.

Regarding what commands return, I believe it is now true that commands
are only called in one place. That place checks the return value for
CMD_RET_USAGE. If it sees it, it calls cmd_usage() and returns 1. So
CMD_RET_USAGE is never returned outside cmd_process(). It should just
be a convenience for the command functions. In any case, all of the
replacements of cmd_usage() with 'return CMD_RET_USAGE' are in the
final patch if you want to leave that one out.

I have tested with sandbox using hush and without. If there is still a
problem please tell me how to repeat it, and I will take another look.

Regards,
Simon
