I just tested and found that the Windows exit code bug still exists; “print(os.execute('exit -1'))” is returned as an error

(See http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2018-11/msg00321.html )

It should set `errno` before the call and verify not only the result to be -1, but also "errno != 0" to indicate an error.

-1 is a valid return value in this case, similar to for example this Linux function; GETPRIORTITY. See “errors” at http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getpriority.2.html
