This isn't the script terminating non-zero.  It's the channel hanging up.

One possible problem might be that your script is not properly handling the
SIGHUP signal sent to the AGI process when a hangup occurs.  If that is the
case, then your script may be terminating early due to the signal.  The
best way to handle that is to set a signal handler in your script (this is
dependent upon the language you're using), although there's also a
workaround for people who are unwilling or unable to set a signal handler.

Just remember that prior to Asterisk 1.6.2, once you receive the SIGHUP,
you may no longer interact with the Asterisk process.  That includes
setting and retrieving variables and using the VERBOSE command.  Starting
with Asterisk 1.6.2, an AGI is free to continue interacting with Asterisk
(the setting of final variables is likely the most productive task).
