int main()	{
 ....
 if (blah) exit(-1);

 ...
 return( 0 );
}

I have solved this "problem" by not using the function exit() to return
to the calling environment main() status.  Rather, use return at the end
of main().  Lint seems to like return from functions.  It never has been
able to deal with exit() properly, ("statement not reached", etc.) so why 
try?
