return is different that exit and abort.  Lint knows that return isn't coming
back, wheras exit and abort are just functions.  I ran into this the other
day where my switch had all cases and default that returned and one that exited.
Lint complained about the one that exited with a "function has return and
return(e)" type of message.  I put a /*NOTREACHED*/ after the exit and lint
was much happier.
