 Some of the Grass libraries call exit. Probably you can do something about
 it!

 rpmlint -I shared-lib-calls-exit
 shared-lib-calls-exit:
 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.
