That's useful to know; I hadn't known the reson for exit vs. return before. It seems to be causing me problems as I try to run Guile in one thread of a multi-threaded program; when the guile-thread finishes, it takes down the whole program. I eagerly await the day when Guile does POSIX threads (but I'm not complaining, since I don't have the background to help). - Eric
