Short description of error
When built as a Python module, Blender overwrites sys.exit() codes with its own exit code.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Import Blender as a Python module into an interactive Python console
Execute sys.exit(1)

Observe the exit code received by the OS, which will be 0

This bug can be worked around by calling os._exit() instead, which terminates the process immediately. That's hardly ideal though!

Blender doesn't replace sys.exit, however we do register an atexit callback in which calls WM_exit_ext, but this isn't called when using python as a module.

so this may just be a regular bug rather then sys.exit specific, will check on it.
