The dash shell, at least version 0.5.5.1, doesn't always bail out
with a syntax error when a stray "fi" in encountered:
$ dash -c ":; fi"; echo stat = $?
stat = 0
See also the relevant bug report:
<http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/717>
This behaviour was causing a spurious error in our testsuite. Fix it.
* t/self-check-exit.tap: Use a stray parentheses rather than a stray
'fi' to trigger a syntax error.
