Hm, probably it's a bug ("feature"?) in bash.
Here's a workaround though:

Hehe, I'm fixing unexistent bugs. :D
Please ignore my stupidity. :-P I think I'd better go rest.

P.S.: I was using status() while didn't noticing it requires 2 arguments, first of which is a string.
Hence the "weird bug". ROFL. :D
