2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Sat Oct 12 13:26:46 MDT 1996
>Description:
A return without an exit status in a sh functino sets the exit status
to true.

bash works as does /bin/sh on FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE
>How-To-Repeat:
When the following script is run it echos "True Condition".

#!/bin/sh

Tester()
{
        false
        return
}

if Tester
then
        echo "True Condition"
else
        echo "Not True Condition"
fi

>Fix:
use bash?
