Actually you are right. I disabled _exit() and _free() when the class is 
written in Gambas.

I disabled _free(), because it was executed in a context where not everything 
is possible: the object is being destroyed, but what happens if you reference 
it again? And what happens is an error is raised inside _free()? And so on...

I disabled _exit(), for about the same reasons, as _exit() is for class what 
_free() is for objects.

I have no solution at the moment for this bad non symmetrical design :-(
