 True. While the version of true(1) that we are shipping will always
 exit with a status of 1, I'm not sure that's portable.
 I tried to check to see if POSIX guarantees `one', or just `non-zero',
 but it would appear that you have to be a member to look at the
 standard ??
 
 If anyone has access to the standard could they take a look and let
 me know so I can amend the patch accordingly ?
