I know that SUS (POSIX) doesn't say anything about this, but... I've read zsh-users 3513 and a few more messages, but I still don't know if this is a common behaviour or not. As usual, this problem is affecting me because I have to do some cleanups when exiting, and I want to run the EXIT trap after, let's say, the INT trap. I could use a function, and call that function from within the traps, but unfortunately I must write this script for maximum portability, so functions may be a problem :(((( Should I live with it? Are there more shells with the same behaviour?
