Two of the three we've already discussed. In the third one, apparently this sort 
of /bin/sh script:

#!/bin/sh
exec printf '%s\n' "a long string"

improperly exits with status 0 when standard output is /dev/full. It might be 
helpful to see what system calls the shell is executing, possibly in preparation 
for sending a bug report to the FreeBSD maintainers. However, this is low 
priority, as we're talking only about incorrect exit status when zmore's 
diagnostics are discarded.
