I noticed this. You are probably linking to a library which
raises and then catches the exception, printing out the
error message. Oftentimes, GUI libraries have this feature.
This might explain why your program does not terminate when
the exception is raised.
Can you send in a test case that reproduces this behavior,
for reference?
