[R] flushing on.exit prior to q()

Hi,
When using a custom error function that calls q(), what is the
recommended way to "flush" the calling function's on.exit ?
For example, say I have a script:
#!/usr/bin/Rscript --no-init-file
options(error = function() {
cat("on error message\n", file = stderr())
q(save = "no", status = 1)
})
test <- function() {
on.exit(cat("on exit message\n", file = stderr()))
stop("error")
}
test()
when I run the script, the "on exit message" does not print. (I found
one solution might involve adding a stop() to my custom error function
prior to the q(); however this is somewhat less than ideal: it also
triggers an "error during wrapup" because of the recursion).
Other ideas, best practices?
Thanks
Ben
