The SM is not long for this world. So I'm in two minds about it making a
farewell appearance in the first paragraph of the method description when we
know we will have to remove this text very soon. If we really need to change
this now then maybe it could be reduced to "When a security manager is not set,
this method never returns ..." so that the distraction of checkExit is not in
the first paragraph.
