Why not? The docs say at_exit, "Converts block to a Proc object (and 
therefore binds it at the point of call), and registers
it for execution when the program exits."

Well, the program exited, didn't it?

If this just can't work then I think there needs to be a way to handle 
graceful cleanup without having to trap all the possible signals that 
could kill the program.
