My experience is that if I don't put an exit within the trap command
series, the script doesn't exit when it receives a signal.  It just
cleans up the temp files and then continues to execute.  I use a trap
handler so that I can clean-up before aborting on a signal, not to keep
the signal from aborting the script.

So, the issue is whether an exit in the trap 0 handler will cause any
harm (loop), but I've never had any problem with that.
