What do you think it should do? Since it's such a massive deal for you, I suspect you want it to exit to a prompt, so you can fix the problem by hand. In that case, suspending the current Shell process to prevent further execution of the startup-sequence seems the appropriate way to handle it, and giving an error message and the option of spawning a new Shell process will give you another prompt so that you can fix it. Of course, that's just a 30-second idea off the top of my head, and I'm not one of the developers, so I'm sure other approaches could be made too. But personally, I really don't see what the massive fuss is about, other than making a lot of noise because Bad Hyperion.
