Calling exit() within the vxWorks environment causes the vxWorks
task to terminate. This will cause CA to clean up via its task
delete handler. The sequencer also has a task exit handler and it 
should also cleanup when an abrupt task termination occurs.

Calling "exit()" from with in the sequence program should be
roughly equivalent to deleting a sequence program task from the shell.
