Thanks for reporting that.
It was fixed like this:

2003-08-01  Jim Meyering  <address@hidden>

        * tests/shred/remove: Ensure that $? is 0 for the final `exit 0'.
        Otherwise, with at least the /bin/sh from HPUX 10.20,
        the trap code would end up converting that to exit 1 and thus an
        unexpected test failure.  Reported by Christian Krackowizer.
