Only use return value from system call if system call succeeded.
Tested with `make world` and some of my own scripts.
This should be MFCed soon. While /bin/sh is hard to test the fix is
obviously correct and can be assumed not to break something else
(famous last words...).

non-zero exit status.
This commit is Joe's proposed patch. Thanks!
I verified that the problem Joe found is fixed and I ran a full world
with this patch.
I don't plan to ever commit language patches to /bin/sh again. It is
a minefield too big to navigate without a full-time committment, which
I am not willing to do on our /bin/sh.
Under normal circumstances I would recommend using NetBSD's sh which
has a lot of language fixes (like the ones what these patches were
about) but unfortunately they had implemented broken signal behaviour
for shellscript containing interactive programs. Similar issues apply
to pdksh which is OpenBSD's sh.
From my perspective bash2 is the only really working bourne sh out
there and that one is GPLed. Oh well.
should slightly reduce the number of system calls in critical portions of
the shell, and select a more efficient path through the fdalloc code.

sh -e behaviour was incorrect when && and || statements where used in
"if" clauses.
This is the patch submitted by MORI Kouji <mori@tri.asanuma.co.jp>.
It fixes the issue at hand, but sh fixes like this are super-hard to
verify that they don't break anything else. I ran some of my old test
cases and a few big GNU configure scripts that detected mistakes
before, with the previous sh, patched sh and bash. No differences in
behaviour found. MFC recommended after longer than usual time.

a tab and broke job control detection. Little edits, disastrous consequences.

- Removed dead declarations
- Made objects that should have been declared as static, static.
The changes use STATIC instead of static, following the existing
convention in the rest of the code.

*underrun* when the substitution consists completely of newlines
(e.g. `echo`) and the byte before the source buffer to which p
points is a '\n', in which case more characters would be removed
from the output buffer than were inserted.
This fixes certain port builds on sparc64.

command line is the one that takes effect is an implementation detail and
users should not rely on this.
The initial stack_block is staticly allocated and will be aligned
according to the alignment requirements of pointers, which does not
necessarily match the alignment enforced by ALIGN. To solve this a
more involved change is required: remove the static initial stack
and deal with an initial condition of not having a stack at all. This
change is therefore more risky than the previous ones, but unavoidable
(other than not using the platform default alignment).

The problem with the previous attempt, as noticed by Marcel, was that
stacknxt was being aligned to a pointer boundary instead of an
ALIGNBYTES + 1 boundary, which broke sparc64.
using the alignment from sys/param.h (16) instead of the alignment
from machdep.h (8) tickled a nasty bug in the memory allocator that I
haven't been able to track down yet.
