Which the code that is failing is:

is( $exit >> 8, $exit_arg, 'Changing $? in END block' );
The severity for 42 is "ERROR" and apparently on VMS, changing the
status to that in the end block should cause an exit code of 44.
But with out the END block, the exit code of 42 should be passed
through. I have that case working.
I have not figured out where this is failing, but I suspect it is the
same issue.

The status should be 44. FF is being converted to the native success
status of 1 and UNIX status of 0 by the parent copy of Perl when this is
run in the full test.
As a follow up, the expected behavior for VMS in an END block, once I
find out where it is going wrong, is apparently:
#ifdef __VMS
if (STATUS_UNIX != 0) {
if (MY_POSIX_EXIT)
STATUS_UNIX_EXIT_SET(STATUS_UNIX);
else
STATUS_ALL_FAILURE;
}
#else
When the VMS specific macro is set, the original UNIX exit status of a
child will be recovered by the parent.
