In your subclass, you need to override method handle_error, which by
default processes all exceptions (including the SystemExit exception
raised by sys.exit) by printing a traceback and continuing.  Check if
the exception is SystemExit and then re-raise it, otherwise delegate
to your base-class's handle_error for normal error processing...
