What version of Gambas are you on? 3.1
Because I had likewise problems with TRY Exec not closing correctly and
they are fixed a revision, post 3.1.
Fix will be in upcoming 3.1.1 release.

Your problem might be caused by the same bug if your are on Gambas 3.1.
I did not have this problem in Gambas 3.0 though.

I used quit as a work around as well for now until 3.1.1 gets released.
