But thanks for the bug report, Todd.

   This script illustrates an exit status bug in GNU bash labeled 2.02.1.

           false 
           echo $?
           ! false
           echo $?
           ( false )
           echo $?
           ( ! false )
           echo $?

   Output from the script should be:

           1
           0
           1
           0

   but is instead:

           1
           0
           1
           1
