I just tried "exit 8" which might seem even more surprising.

I had forgotten them message, but I previouslyu did an exit(8)
in a C program and hunted for the error for (not so long) before
figuring it out.

Certain IBM systems always return exit codes that are multiples of four.
(0 for success, 4 for warning, 8 for error, 12 for severe error.)
Possibly convenient in that you can use it to address a jump
table of four byte addresses or four byte branch instructions.
In any case, I had an exit(8) in a C program.
