From: Gang Yan <[email protected]> check_transfer() compares the input and output files byte-by-byte using `cmp -l "$in" "$out" | while read ...`. Because the while-loop body runs in a subshell (the script sets neither lastpipe nor pipefail), the fail_test call inside it -- which sets the global ret/last_test_failed -- and the `return 1` both act on the subshell, not on check_transfer(). check_transfer() thus always falls through to `return 0`, and any data corruption affecting only the payload (leaving the subflow/PM counters untouched) is silently reported as PASS.
