Log: All LispThread objects can act on a ProcessingTerminated exception. Without this modifications, threads created with the THREADS:MAKE-THREADS cannot successfully call the EXT:QUIT or EXT:EXIT functions.  This prevented the SLIME quit implementation from successfully quitting implementations. Note that all threads can always execute a form like   (jstatic "exit" "java.lang.System" 0) to uncermoniously exit the JVM, so there is nothing gained security-wise by preventing threads from using the official Lisp interfaces. +                catch (ProcessingTerminated e) { +                    System.exit(e.getStatus()); +                }

This looks.. ..unfortunate. We should not get into a situation where a LispThread catches this exception, the exception is supposed to be used for terminating the repl if it can't load. It's fine as a stopgap measure, but exit requests from threads shouldn't end up throwing that exception.
