Run it. You'll see 'tidy' progress. If you want to see the gory details,
run 'tail -f -s .1 "$BUILD_DIR/LOG_$PROGRAM.log"' in another window.
Oh, wait. I think I know the problem. You are using {} (curly braces) around
the code block instead of () (parens). They behave differently. Your script
is properly exitting from the {} environment, which is different from your
script's environment. Use parens; I think they'll do what you want.
