ExitProcess() exits the *calling* process; not relevant here.

I'm not sure what you mean by "rendered useless".
Perhaps you need to examine your validator.

I understood that there is a difference between TerminateProcess and ExitProcess
functions. I also understood that TerminateProcess is being used for the Windows
Wrapper. I'm proposing another time limit (let's call it exit_time_limit) that 
calls
ExitProcess function (instead of calling TerminateProcess function). I'm hoping 
that
it will cause the application to quit nicely and the result not being rendered
useless. Or is there some another way to make the application to quit nicely 
after a
time limit?

Henri.

        Is it possible to exit the application after certain time without
        terminating it? We would like to have that feature in Wrapper. This way 
the
        result wouldn't be marked as invalid.
