scripts: fix catching failures

POSIX 1003.1-2008 does not say whether "set -e" should catch a sub-shell
that exits with !0 (it has a list of conditions to catch, but no list of
conditions not to catch, and this situation is not listed).

bash-3 does not catch such a failure, but bash-4 does. That why, on my
Squeeze system I did not see the issue, while Thomas did on is Lenny chroot.
