I've sent what I believe is the fix for this problem to Syd.  I say
'believe' because our compiler caught the problem and I fixed it up

I don't particularly recommend installing the following because of conflicts
when the official patch comes out.  But, you might be hurting.
If you decide to install this, *please* save a copy of the original
'exitprog.c' for use when patch 21 comes out.
