[Pythonmac-SIG] Abnormal program termination

[Jared Updike]

So when I debug into PythonCore when my code calls PyMac_Initialize(); and
step through,

static int
getpreffilefss(FSSpec *fssp)
{
	static int diditbefore=0;
	static int rv = 1;
	static FSSpec fss;
	short prefdirRefNum;
	long prefdirDirID;
	long pyprefdirDirID;
	Handle namehandle;
	OSErr err;
	
	if ( !diditbefore ) {
		if ( (namehandle=GetNamedResource('STR ', 
PREFFILENAME_NAME)) == NULL ) {
			(void)StopAlert(NOPREFNAME_ID, NULL);
-->>			exit(1);
		}

it dies here __^ Is there an easy way to fix this (it looks trivial but I
don't know that much Mac stuff) What is the issue here?
