I see a system message from the original posters program:

Finding it is left as an exercise to the reader.
It is noted that many programs catch fatal signals in order
to not leave evidence of their crashing on the user's system as
coredumps are considered 'bad form'/unsightly.
I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding between the difference of an
error code returned by a system call and the exit status of a process. They're
two completely different things.
Just for fun, look at the man page for grep. It is advertised to return a 0, 1
or 2. The actual values of errno that might happen in the middle are a
separate problem.
