Re: "EXIT" menu not working?

I reported this bug to Kim a while ago, and never got any word back on it.
It's a valid, reproducable problem - I managed to get it to work using
the stock RADIUS 2.0, RADIUS 1.18b7 (right before 2.0), and our custom
versions of both.

The problem did not occur under the pre-2.0 betas before (I believe) beta 5.
It's been present ever since.
