my_init doesn't preserve non-zero exit status about baseimage-docker HOT 4 CLOSED

The abnormally large exit code value (10752) is ignored by sys.exit:

$ python -c 'import sys; sys.exit(10752)'; echo $?
0

Probably because, according to http://docs.python.org/2/library/sys.html#sys.exit:

Most systems require [the exit code] to be in the range 0-127, and produce undefined results otherwise.

Can you test this?

Looks good to me:

# Previous version:
root@e63c58ccd0ef:/# /sbin/my_init --skip-runit --quiet -- bash -c 'exit 42'; echo $?
0
# Current master:
root@e63c58ccd0ef:/# /baseimage-docker/image/my_init --skip-runit --quiet -- bash -c 'exit 42'; echo $?
42

Awesome, thanks! :-)
