Bug description:
  Hello,

  I am working on the Debian package for geda, when I ran lintian on the package, I got this:

 libgeda38: shlib-calls-exit usr/lib/libgeda.so.38.0.0                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                                                            
    The listed shared library calls the C library exit() or _exit()                                                                                         
    functions.                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                            
    In the case of an error, the library should instead return an                                                                                           
    appropriate error code to the calling program which can then determine                                                                                  
    how to handle the error, including performing any required clean-up.

I am not sure if this is a real issue or not, since libgeda is most probably only used by the tools in geda. So I though of bringing this up here for you to decide.
