    <Deuce> It's likely because exit() isn't being called.<Deuce> DigitalMan, If you add exit() to the end of the script on_exit() handlers should be called.<Deuce> If you don't, they won't be called until something calls exit() or until the outermost script terminates.

    load() is probably just not the right thing to use in this instance. We don't want the parent script to terminate when the load'd script terminates, which would happen if it (the child script) called exit(). Not what I want.Also, we can't rely on the child script to call exit() anyway as it could abend with an exception instead.

    There are already some calls to exit() in the script... when a message base can't be opened or contains no messages.
