I could have made a patch to simply kill remaining process, but I 
assumed it is wiser to leave that part to sysadmin. But I wanted to help 
system admins easier to see that somthing is wrong. Normal exit in such 
situations is misleading. People expect to be notified in such 
situations. Severity is probably not such as it looks from the tag, but 
as I looked at the policy manual it looked to me this bug gets in the 
category I tagged it with.

Probably output a warning message in addition to "failed" exit status 
indicator?

Best regards
