It means your program returned an exit status of -1 to the operating 
system.  Any non-zero return status is by convention a sign of abnormal 
termination, so RHIDE reports it.

I'm guessing that in your case, you simply forgot to put "return 0;" at 
the end of your `main' function, so it returns some random garbage, which 
happens to be -1.
