PDL 'Exit' terminates job on HP3000

[Byron Welch]

  This sounds like a bug that I encountered a while back.  PowerHouse in
a job stream clobbers some fixed number of lines after the exit.  I have
forgotten the exact number but it is less than 15.  If you add about 15
blank lines after the exit everything should work OK.

Ditto with 8.19. No explanation from me but I'd be happy to hear the   
answer.
