Re: use of assert() and exit()

Are failed ASSERT calls and exit() situations coming up in your system?  
If so I'd expect some debugging should be done prior to using it
seriously.

Normally ASSERT and exit would be used in situations where continuing on
would make no sense or possibly be dangerous -- they are "this shouldn't
happen" types of internal errors.  I would expect they should be extremely
rare in real life; and they definitely shouldn't be occurring for normal,
expected sorts of errors like bad data or network-level problems.
