jilles accurately advises that, in the context of shell redirection, the `:'
builtin is processed specially and thus the `: > file' syntax for example will cause premature termination of the current shell on redirection-error. The `true' builtin on the other-hand is not included in this special processing (for compatibility reasons to satisfy legacy scripts programmed for systems where `true' is not a builtin). Change bare `: > file' syntax into `true > file' syntax to prevent premature shell termination in the event of redirection-error. NOTE: Instances of `: > file' that appear within a sub-shell have been left unmodified as these will not cause premature termination of the main script.
