The function "exit()" does not belong to the list of async-signal-safe functions.
See section "2.4.3 Signal Actions" from the document "2.4 Signal Concepts".

Can your program work without the function "uart_sigproc"?

exit() is only used in the unix test branch. Because there is no multithreading and there are no asynchronous signals on the µC and in the unix-test-case, there is no problem with this method of termination.

I suggest to perform tests correctly. Would you like to adhere to the POSIX standard specification at all places in the source code?
