If have put some "cp" commands in my .zlogout. Some files are
sometimes "nonexistant" - depending on the host and the mounts. So I
simply wanted to redirect stderr to /dev/null.
To my surprise when of these commands errors ("cp nonexistant_file
destination") the rest of .zlogout is not read. So I had to put a "if
[[ -r $file ]]" into .zlogout to make this file finish until the end.
Of course this is not the behaviour of the other rcfiles (.zprofile,
.zshrc, etc.).
So my question is: is this a known thing (a bug or a feature)?

Okay I found it out (with a little help from PWS): it was the "setopt
errreturn".
So two questions remain:
1. Who put this setting in my .zshrc ;-)?
2. Why don't the login rcfiles terminate when an error occurs - and
just the logout file?
