I didn't say it was *non-standard*, I said it was *system-specific*.
There are a lot of pre-ANSI C compilers out there, and I have met ones
where "return 0;" in the main program did not work at all.  I didn't
say that the VAX/VMS C compiler doesn't like it either.  My point was
simply that ANSI or not, one may run into compilers where it doesn't
work, so one might as well play safe and stick with exit().
