This is a perfect solution, as I think it's similar to what Windows does. If Windows is terminated by an unhandled exception, then it returns the exception number. I don't think this always happens correctly. For instance, I think if you terminate a process via program manager, it just exits with a 0 (I never trust exit codes from programs on Windows anyways, there seems to be a lack of respect for it among windows developers). But at least we get a best effort for all OSes.
