It has returned for a long time.  If it returns to main(), it used to
do some cleanup actions and then main() returns (and whatever calls
main() exits).  Why has that changed?  If (bye) is used in an inner
invocation of the engine, then it probably should not exit, but that's
not what David has tried.
