Comment(by leif):
Ouch, I just realized the scripting "logic" is completely insane:
While {{{sage-env}}} is intended to be '''sourced''' (rather than called),
and {{{sage-sage}}} does this,
* {{{sage-sage}}} redirects stdout and stderr while sourcing {{{sage-
env}}} to {{{/dev/null}}}, though {{{sage-env}}} eventually outputs
(valuable) error messages
* {{{sage-sage}}} tests its "exit status", though it is sourced, not
called
* {{{sage-env}}} actually '''exits''' with 1 on error
So even when an error is detected in {{{sage-env}}}, the user will never
see the error message, but Sage will simply "silently" exit.
Argh...
