Comment(by zbigniew):

 Yep, that's exactly the problem.  Return value of (system) is raw return
 value of waitpid(2) which is not appropriate to pass to (exit) -- as the
 return value is in bits 8-15, whereas exit masks these off.

 There is a recipe for obtaining the exact exit status on UNIX at:
 http://chicken.wiki.br/man/4/Unit%20library#system

 Probably easier is to have csc return a fixed exit status of 1 (or
 whatever) if a subcommand fails, since we do not have official methods to
 get this.
