oh ho :)  after adding that, it exits normally.  i gotta wonder if all the
"return false" statements from that method should be replace, or at least
accompanied by, postExceptionMessage statements.  if so, i can go ahead
and do that and post a patch.

as far as exception posting goes, i'm a little lost as to figuring out how
it is implemented internally.  i'll start a separate thread with my
questions.
