    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where a search failure
    is considered an error and causes ex to exit immediately.

    All of these test cases are failing one part of the test because the
    test suite is ignoring the fact that 'ex' terminates when an error
    is encountered in the input file, when the input file is a regular
    file. A failure in a search is considered an error, and should terminate
    the execution of the input script.
    The test suite should not expect 'checkline' to succeed when
    ex has terminated under such circumstances because any other commands
    in the input script will not have been executed to mark the line
    which is being searched for in 'checkline'.

    Each test case (81, 83) expects that the exit status may not
    be zero, but the exit status from the 'ex' command is not used to
    determine whether to continue with the 'checkline' routine. It should
    be.

    Testcase #81:

    lines 2116-2118 of ex_02.sh contain the ex command and the capture of
    the (non-zero) exit status.

    Testcase #83:

    lines 2524-2526 of ex_02.sh contain the ex command and the capture of
    the (non-zero) exit status.
