shared library call exit #4

Hi,

During packaging ferret for Fedora, I was running rpmlint tool against it and I receive following warning:

rubygem-ferret.x86_64: W: shared-lib-calls-exit /usr/lib64/gems/exts/ferret-0.11.8.4/lib/ferret_ext.so exit@GLIBC_2.2.5
This library package calls exit() or _exit(), probably in a non-fork()
context. Doing so from a library is strongly discouraged - when a library
function calls exit(), it prevents the calling program from handling the
error, reporting it to the user, closing files properly, and cleaning up any
state that the program has. It is preferred for the library to return an
actual error code and let the calling program decide how to handle the
situation.

Would you mind to check if the described symptoms might be an issue? Thank you.
