I'd say "application's environmental problems" [or something like
that] that can't be handled/"recovered from" by the application... 
but it actually MAY try to do something attempting "to recover" 
FIRST].

After "fixing" the problem(s). And "batch processing" stuff will 
probably end up in exit( EXIT_FAILURE ) [or its equivalent with 
respect to "normal-termination-operation-failed"] at this point.
