Re: what happens after you push Quit

Yes.  There was in fact a exit(3) call in ControlPanel that is called
when Quit is pressed when the sim is in a stopped state.  I think it
was put there long ago to handle the case of Quit after an initial
-buildObjects setStateStopped, which would otherwise need to be
trailed by -getState call conditional with its own exit code (the
right thing).

For now, I'm going to remove that call to exit, and see what I can
break.  It is totally inappropriate to call exit(3) now that the
Swarm library may be owned by Java or Mozilla.
