True, I suppose it must not return to *its* continuation, so the second case is fine, but IIUC the other constraints can still be broken (since `exit-handler` isn't wound). > Note that emergency-exit should wind up calling _exit() rather than > exit(), so that stdio buffers are not flushed. Thanks, I'll incorporate this requirement.
