With PHP 4.0.7 (for taking one):
# php -q
<?php exit(1); ?>
1# echo $?
1
#

With PHP 4.2.1:
# php -q
<?php exit(1); ?>
# echo $?
255
#

Previously the "problem" was the print of the exit code and now seems that it doesn't register the exit code.

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Hi,

this bug was set to closed (fixed in cvs) on Jun 13th.
PHP 4.2.2 was released on 22nd July, so I'm assuming
this should have been fixed in 4.2.2.
It looks like it got missed out or something.

4.2.2
ajs@nuyen:~| php -q 'exit(0);' ; echo $?

ajs@nuyen:~| php -q                                                                                 
<?php
exit(0);
?>

No PHP 4.2.2 contained a security fix only.  CVS means CVS HEAD, which will tbe forthcoming 4.3 (or whatever it's numbered).  Still closed.
