[issue24052] sys.exit(code) returns "success" to the OS for some nonzero values of code

[Martin Panter]

Here is a relevant Posix bug thread:

As well as Windows, apparently Solaris, OS X, and a recent version of Free BSD have more than eight bits of exit status. I don’t know if Python’s sys.exit() supports this though.
