_a_msg_exit() is one of those nasty procedures that MS put in that kills
your program when it does something nasty.  Another example:  do a divide
by zero in a PM program.  You don't get a trap, you don't get any beeps,
you get nothing.  Your application just disappears ("Look ma, no
hands!")!  Check your code, and variable values, and make sure that
nothing is done in any thread that might be considered "naughty".
