Very Computer

While trying to compile Andrew and some other large projects with huge
makefile systems using /bin/sh under Linux (where /bin/sh is bash), I
found this strange behaviour :

  $ sh -c 'exit 5' ; echo $?
  127
  $

This broke all makefiles using "sh -c".  So I began tracing this in bash
and found that it is no bug, it's a features ;)  At least it looks like
it was meant this way.  But I find it not only strange, I find it wrong.
Under all other Unixes I could try it on, it worked like expected,
returning 5.  Well, if somebody else wants to correct this in
bash-1.14.3, this is the diff for shell.c
