  Thanks for your reply. 
  I'm not sure that I've explained the problem adequately.
  I'm not worried about blackbox crashing; that almost never happens.
  The patch uses the brace-delimited string on the [exit] statement of the menu
  to run some script/program which tries to disallow the exit if certain applications
  (sylpheed-claws is one) are still running.  I want to be reminded to close
  those apps correctly before I end the session.
