check has trapped 'exit 1' and exit with $status, but check always returns 0 on error because status never gets updated. This causes problems while running some tests in a loop until it fails, e.g. while ./check generic/081; do : ; done Just set status to 1 before exit, as what we do in the tests. Also remove an unused $flag while we're at it.
