| -----------
| 
|     The simple debugging method keyboard() looks for an input of just
|     "exit" (among other things) to terminate its special processing and
|     resume normal execution.  However, if "exit;" (not the semicolon) is
|     provided, the trailing semicolon is not stripped, "exit;" does not
|     match "exit", so the command is evaluated, resulting in immediate
|     program termination rather than simply returning from the keyboard
|     command.

I applied your patch.

Thanks,
