Follow-up Comment #1:

I have reviewed the use of exit() and found all cases to be
correct/necessary.
Usage falls into four categories:
1. when the developer calls exit on the main thread ... the program must
exit.
2. in the uncaught exception handler ... the program must exit
3. in a child after fork() where the subprocess can't be started properly
4. system startup failure before main() is entered (and therefore before any
application developer code can handle Anything)
