Please calm down. It seems that the exit status wasn't reached at all. I'm
still trying to isolate some code, but it seems that the bug occurs deep in
ld.so or so. I have no debugging symbols there, I think (at least gdb
doesn't tell me what's happening). Why does it fail silently? Can I provoke
a diagnostic error message?

Yes, they work fine. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the exit()
command at all.

I'm still working on it. Please give me a bit more time (I have not much
time today).
