When the client calls \texttt{exit()}, the profiler will wait for all zones to end, before a program can be truly terminated. If program execution stopped inside a zone, this will never happen, and the profiled application will seemingly hang up. At this point you will need to manually terminate the program (or simply disconnect the profiler server). As a workaround, you may add a \texttt{try}/\texttt{catch} pair at the bottom of the function stack (for example in the \texttt{main()} function) and replace \texttt{exit()} calls with throwing a custom exception. When this exception is caught, you may call \texttt{exit()}, knowing that the application's data structures (including profiling zones) were properly cleaned up.
