The only exit calls I see in the WinPcap source are inherited from libpcap, and they're in

	1) the DOS libpcap support;

	2) some code that is called "pcap-enet.c" but was never actually a pcap module for anything (perhaps it was taken from a really old pre-libpcap tcpdump or something with the intent that it turn into a pcap module for "Stanford Enetfilter")

so they're not used by WinPcap.  Perhaps something WinPcap calls in turn calls exit.
