"Exit" throws an error when called within worker

[donkalar]

Calls to exit() seem to be broken in the master branch, which results in zombie workers until backgroundrb is cycled.

I added a backtrace print to the error handler, and the call stack is as follows:

/Users/don/Code/Rails/pubbrain/lib/workers/run_search_worker.rb:117:in 'exit' /Users/don/Code/Rails/pubbrain/lib/workers/run_search_worker.rb:117:in 'create' /Users/don/Code/Rails/pubbrain/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/meta_worker.rb:320:in 'send' /Users/don/Code/Rails/pubbrain/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/meta_worker.rb:320:in 'invoke_user_method' /Users/don/Code/Rails/pubbrain/vendor/plugins/backgroundrb/server/lib/meta_worker.rb:127:in 'worker_init' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.15/bin/../lib/packet/packet_worker.rb:19:in 'start_worker' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.15/bin/packet_worker_runner:33:in 'load_worker' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.15/bin/packet_worker_runner:26:in 'initialize' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.15/bin/packet_worker_runner:47:in 'new' /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.15/bin/packet_worker_runner:47 /usr/bin/packet_worker_runner:19:in 'load' /usr/bin/packet_worker_runner:19
