Strictly speaking, no; but their removal would make the script more 
consistent with the great majority of the other tests which use
`set -e'.
Anyway, I'm fine with keeping those `|| Exit', since the "consistency" 
I'm speaking about here is purely cosmetic, bordering on pointless 
nitpicking (on the contrary, the use `set -e' concerns IMO semantic 
consistency, which is far far more important).
