Hi,Sudip
What we have done seems like this:

     Mine:                 Yours:
                                                   
            Entry                 Entry   
	     |                     |
	     |                     | 
           Judge--success        Judge--fail                                          
            |        |            |      |                                                                                             
            |        |            |      |  
	 Err Handing |           Exit 1  |
	    |        |                   | 
	    |        |                Err Handing 
           Exit------+                   | 
                                       Exit 2 

I think it's hard to say which one its beter. Actually, the original version
seems good in that situation. I'm kernelnewbie and just practice to send patch.

Thanks for your reply.
