The behavior is to call exit when a certain exception is raised (for  
instance, an Interrupt signal).

I'm actually going to eliminate this from my code, as I can just call  
break instead (I'm breaking from an otherwise infinite loop).  Just  
to satisfy my curiosity, though, what are your thoughts?
