It depends what you mean by abnormal. :-)
The statement "STOP 99901" is translated into the
C statement "exit(99901)".  It is up to your OS and/or
shell to correctly deal with an exit value of 99901.

This is essentially the following C code:

   printf("STOP 99901\n");
   exit(0);

Again, it is up to OS and/or shell to correctly
deal with the 0 exit status.
