vdelivermail calls _exit() when running a command in a .qmail file (exit codes 99, 100 and 111). It should really be calling vexit() to give the MySQL lib a chance to close its connections.
According to my book here, calling _exit() does not run any atexit() registered functions. This is also the only reason it is async safe, and thus also safe to use when you are in a signal handler. Whereas exit() does call the atexit() registered functions, and thus is not async safe.
