What do you intend? I find it a valuable feature of CLISP that it can
save an image and continue working (unlike CMU/SBCL IIRC).
This provides for long-running applications which can checkpoint their
state (for recovery purposes) and continue running.
So "save image" must not be followed by "exit".

BTW, this feature should be explicitly documented.
