You'll need to add a call to `yield' to the end of your program to wait
until your application quit handler exits. For example, you might add

 (yield (make-semaphore))

assuming that your quit handler exits via `exit', or you could use

 (define s (make-semaphore))
 (yield s)

with a quit handler that exits via `(semaphore-post s)'.
