There are problems, first, when debugging, debugger will catch
the signal, second is important, exit() should save a value in
kernel zoombie proc structure, so parent waitpid() on it can get
the exit code, signal can not provide this feature.
Linux has exit_group() which I think is used to implement exit().
FreeBSD introduced thr_exit and kse_exit to exit single thread,
and leave orignal exit() to exit whole process.
