What were you trying to do?
Check the exit status of /usr/ucb/strings
What's wrong:
It always exits with a garbage exit status, rather than a
success/error code:
[{1}lycus:~]
% /usr/ucb/strings /dev/null
Exit 96 /usr/ucb/strings /dev/null
[{1}lycus:~]
% /usr/ucb/strings /usr/ucb/strings

What should have happened:
It should exit 0 when it finds strings, exit 1 when it doesn't.
