	Yes, you *can* have an exception handling routine.  RKM is a bit
vague.   The most I've ever done inside the 'service' routine is to
increment a global variable.  RKM says that the exception handler is
on the user-stack and run almost as if it were a subroutine of your
process.

	However, since most library calls also run on the user-stack,
I don't think it would be a good idea to 'cleanup and exit'... you could
hit ^C at a critical moment  (C-A, any comments?? are library calls and
such protected from the exception signal processing????).
