SomberNight ffba6061bc contrib: "set -e" behaves weird in subshells followed by OR. don't use. ...

This exits as expected:
```
$ cat s1.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e
(
    echo "a"
    false
    echo "b"
)

$ ./s1.sh
a
```
This does NOT exit, seemingly because of the outer context?!
```
$ cat s2.sh
#!/bin/bash
set -e
(
    echo "a"
    false
    echo "b"
) || echo "c"

$ ./s2.sh
a
b
```
