I've also seen this behavior. In the case where fsck detects repairable
errors and repairs them successfully, it *should* exit with the same code
as it uses when the filesystem is perfectly clean to start with.
Unfortunately, SunOS 4.0 fsck does not.
I reported this problem to Sun last November. Their reply did not
adequately address the problem I had described. I sent back a second
message explaining that they missed the point, but they never wrote back.
Service # 242409 if you're interested.
