    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations where the aborting a tag
    command because the current file has been modified 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'.

    Test case 296 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 #296:
    --------------
    lines 842 and 843 of ex_06.sh contain the ex command and the
    capture of the (non-zero) exit status.
