This bug was caused by the SKIPEVAL removal.  When the SKIPEVAL
hack was added to improve set -e support in traps, dotrap was
changed to return whether set -e was detected.  After the removal
of SKIPEVAL, set -e is now handled through exraise.

However, dotrap still returned a value which is now incorrectly
used to trigger an exraise.

This patch removes the vestigial link between dotrap and exraise.
