[mythtv] [patch] Exit Uniqueness, a cleanup patch

50 and -28 for the programs and libs directories.
grep exit\( programs/*/*.{cpp,c,h}
grep exit\( libs/*/*.{cpp,c,h}

It was my fond hope however that no more would be added and the number
of random exits would be reduced. Most are in places where the
programmer obviously thought: oh, this will never happen, so why bother
correctly recovering from the error. But as the program has grown they
really do happen because sometimes the files are corrupted or the
assumptions made are no longer true. It always happens with large
programs which MythTV has become, this is why we need house cleanings
once in a while.

]Just nit picking but was the MAX number documented somewhere so others
