+ * Various test scripts have been updated for style and also correct

+ * "gc --auto" ended up calling exit(-1) upon error, which has been
+   corrected to use exit(1).  Also the error reporting behaviour when
+   daemonized has been updated to exit with zero status when stopping
+   due to a previously discovered error (which implies there is no
+   point running gc to improve the situation); we used to exit with
+   failure in such a case.
