AgentX++: Problems with raise(SIGTERM) ?

[christel.sohnemann____philips.com]

Hello,
there are several code lines in AgentX++ where a signal is raised, for example in "SubAgentXMib::init()". I am not  quite sure whether these raise-calls are used to terminate the program from where are they called or if they are just to perfrom control 
flow.  I call "SubAgentXMib::init()" method when the subagent tries to reconnect to a masteragent after the masteragent was detected as down.
I wrote a signal-catching function sig() which is registered and sucessfully called after raise is called.
I found in all the examples, that the example programs exit when this signal raises. The problem is that the subagent I wrote cannot terminate the program. So I do not do that but continue performing (in this case I continue trying to reconnect to the 
masteragent).
However, I wonder if this could lead into any problems in "SubAgentXMib::init()" method ? It seems, as if the subagent hangs in a way, it does not continue trying to reconnect. When I start the masteragent again after a while, the subagent does not find 
out about that, it does not reconnect to the master.
May the "raise" be the problem? Is it a problem not to leave the "SubAgentXMib::init()" method after a raise occured and continue executing it?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Christel Sohnemann
