  ****************************************************************
  The exit exception is never caught by the native code.  The
  result is that the application closes as a faulting
  application. This is not seen on the device, but in the
  Visual studio debugger you get the dialog with the exception.
  

Problem conclusion

• A change in the code was made so that the application
  exits properly and does not throw the unhandled exception.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 5.0.5.0.
