Summary: sys.exit handling by script/driver

Initial Comment:
The code in the $prefix/scripts/driver script concedes 
that it is valid for a script it is supervising to exit using 
the sys.exit function rather than just returning from the 
main function. 

However, if the script being supervised does use 
sys.exit, the driver script fails to pass on the output 
generated by the supervised script. 

In the case of cgi scripts this means that an internal 
server error is reported by the http server because no 
output has been returned. 

A patch file to fix this problem is available as #668685
