Oops, indeed! I fixed this.
My previous explanation was wrong: there should be no uncaught throws
unless there is some ither bug in Guile. scm_with_guile, which is now
the main function for initializing Guile, establishes a catch all (via
scm_with_continuation_barrier). However, that catch all does not exit
with pthread_exit, it simply makes scm_with_guile return NULL. Bad.

Reported by Bruce Korb:
* init.c (invoke_main_func): Don't call exit here. Throws that are
only caught by scm_with_guile will bypass us and would cause
scm_boot_guile to return erroneously.
(scm_boot_guile): Expect scm_with_guile to return and call exit
here, passing it an appropriate exit code.
