If the execution of OP_EQUAL gives true, then it does not leave true/false on the stack. If it is false then it leaves false on top of the stack and stops executing.
Bstack.push_back(fEqual ? vchTrue : vchFalse);
if (opcode == OP_EQUALVERIFY)
{
if (fEqual)
popstack(stack);
else
return set_error(serror, SCRIPT_ERR_EQUALVERIFY);
}
