Subject: Getting the exit code in a SystemExit rescue block?

Assume that I have the following code:

  begin
    exit(42)
  rescue SystemExit => e
    # How do I find out the argument passed to exit() here?
  end

Inside of the `rescue' block, is there any way for me to find out the
argument that was passed to exit()?  In this example, I'd want to know
that `42' was passed.

Thanks in advance.
