win32utils devel - Oct 2004 - C extension question

Hi all,

I was just refactoring some of the win32_popen code, and I saw this a few 
times:

rb_raise(...);
return Qnil;

Is there any way it will ever reach the return?  Isn''t the rb_raise()
going
to return?  Or is there a good reason for this?  Just curious.
