The code in session.c that returns the error message also sets an exit 
code of 254.  If PuTTY checks the exit code then it'll detect this, 
however if it's just looking for connection breaks and the like then it 
probably won't.  I don't know which it does.

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
