} Can you please check this on your end?

I get (schaefer[N] is my top-level prompt):

schaefer[691] Src/zsh -f /tmp/test1.sh
/tmp/test1.sh:3: fork failed: resource temporarily unavailable
1
Current Date is: My default value
/tmp/test1.sh:6: fork failed: resource temporarily unavailable
schaefer[692] echo $?
1

There's no exit after `date` because that was in a subshell, but I do
see the exit after the command in the parent shell.

Are you sure a path-searched "zsh" is finding the right binary?
