Hi;

Is this really all of the code?  :o)

I do not see exit bound anywhere, so I think the str is whatever
exit is bound to.

Usually, when I really _really_ want to get out of a program
right NOW, I do this:

import os
os._exit(0)

Maybe exit is being bound somewhere inside of os.path.walk
and some kind of namespace thing is letting it waft out in to
your handler....
