I think you actually set it to 2, back in June, 2008, in what is now
known as git revision aeb43984ec7c86aee220cc56146e0127de4ce2e3.

See the change to runtime.c in
https://github.com/golang/go/commit/aeb43984ec7c86aee220cc56146e0127de4ce2e3
.


I don't know what Supervisor is but if it is running on a Unix system
I don't think it should treat exit code 2 as success.

I don't think we should document the exit status of panic except to
say that it is non-zero.
