As I recall, you had some VMS background, so VMS is not "obscure" :-)
1. With what error code should one exit (odd numbers mean success) ?
2. Do you want to run exit handlers in the executable image
and the various shareable images it invoked ?
3. Do you want to run exit handling in the batch file that
is controlling the program ?
But you cannot avoid running the exit handlers associated with a
privileged shareable image. It is possible to construct a pathelogical
case that will not kill the process since that would damage system
integrity.
