I do prefer () when making a subshell in a case like this (e.g.
upstream of a pipe), so I am happy with this version, but the above
is curious.

I am not sure how "jumbled output" is possible, let alone "reading
exit.status before it is written".  The output goes to sed to be
processed either way, nobody else other than "$@" produces such an
output from there, and sed would not exit until it finishes reading
from the upstream so res=$(cat exit.status) won't kick in before the
upstream exits.

Anyway, thanks, will queue.
