rc.local is called from rc.M using the "dot" command:
Code:
# Start the local setup procedure.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.local
fi
This causes rc.local to be executed inside the current shell; basically, the contents of rc.local are imported into rc.M. An "exit" command at the end of rc.local would therefore have caused the calling script (rc.M) to terminate.
