Subject: [PATCH] Fix corruption and hanging resulting from using _exit in
 forked processes by calling QuitGS directly instead.

GNO's _exit (contrary to its man page) does clean-up for stuff like the memory allocator, which is inappropriate in a forked child process and leads to hangs and crashes.
