autogen exited due to catching a signal. If your template includes
string formatting, a number argument to a "%s" formatting element will
trigger a segmentation fault. Autogen will catch the seg fault signal
and exit with AUTOGEN_EXIT_SIGNAL(5). Alternatively, AutoGen
may have been interrupted with a kill(2) signal.
Subtract 128 from the actual exit code to detect the signal number.
