I take back my take back...

chef-0.8.8/lib/chef/application.rb

    def fatal!(msg, err = -1)
      STDERR.puts("FATAL: #{msg}")
      Chef::Log.fatal(msg)
      Process.exit err
    end

so the exception is eaten and the process exits... so it won't come out of 
run for toadhopper to send on.

Probably Applciation.fatal! and exit! shoudl be passed the exception, which 
they can pass to hoptoad, if it's configured....
