For concurrent programs, instead of using exit( EXIT_FAILURE ), you
should be using CONC_FAILURE(errmsg).  It does a lot more than a
simple exit().  The function call updates the concurrent request table
with the appropriate status and completion message (in this case the
message in errmsg), rollback, disconnect, and then exit.
