It's a design issue, if it is the case, because at the time the :exit is 
thrown, you're already out of idle(), so catching it there is definitely 
not what you intended. Probably you should catch the exception somewhere 
higher on the stack, from the method that, I guess, calls idle in a 
loop, or even higher.

TPR.
