hilfy:202 Z$ /bin/expr ad0 : '^ad\([0-9]\)$'
0
zsh: exit 1 /bin/expr ad0 : '^ad\([0-9]\)$'
(Solaris 8 box)
The Solaris manpage claims:
EXIT STATUS
As a side effect of expression evaluation, expr returns the
following exit values:
(...)
1 if the expression is either NULL or 0
So it looks like correct behavior, if slightly odd in this particular
context.
