I'd say "application's environmental problems" [or something like that] that can't be handled/"recovered from" by the application... but it actually MAY try to do something attempting "to recover" FIRST]. > and probably asking him to try again. After "fixing" the problem(s). And "batch processing" stuff will probably end up in exit( EXIT_FAILURE ) [or its equivalent with respect to "normal-termination-operation-failed"] at this point. > That's certainly "recovery", and is hardly "meaningless".
