The patch you've been looking at just changes the way in which SystemExit
is used, it does not replace it with sys.exit.
In my experience sys.exit was causing unit test threads to interrupt
abruptly, whereas SystemExit was being caught by the test runner and
handled.
I find therefore a bit strange that you're reporting what appears to be the
opposite behaviour.
Maybe if you could share the code you're working on we can have a look at
it and see what's going on.
