Environment.Exit calls TaskMethods.Exit, which internalcalls a function
in lib_task.c, which just calls exit(3).

I think the Right Thing to do in this case is to avoid using Exit at
all, define an exception captured in Main to be exit (much like Python
does with SystemExit, as well as ThreadDeath in Java), throw that
exception when you want to exit, and do cleanups in finally or catch
clauses (that rethrow out to Main).
