 I don't know why it was put there in the first place, but my first
 reaction was to send patch to remove the use of exit in the trap
 handler:
    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-09/msg01803.html
 but the discussion led me to report this bug against dash

 Thanks for your detailed reply!  Am I also expected to log this issue
 somewhere for tracking?

    Cheers,
