Yes, it's an unadvisable business to modify bin/faxrcvd.

Instead, if the default faxrcvd behavior is close to but not exactly 
what I want, and if that behavior is *not* deliberately modifiable by 
the default faxrcvd (like, setting SENDTO or FILETYPE or 
NOTIFY_FAXMASTER, for examples) - then rewriting default faxrcvd 
functionality modified by my needs inside-of FaxDispatch followed by an 
"exit" amounts to a whole lot of work that I avoid by simly copying the 
default faxrcvd to, say, etc/faxrcvd.custom, making the modifications 
there, and then setting "FaxRcvdCmd: etc/faxrcvd.custom" in my modem 
config files.  This also avoids dealing with merging in changes over 
upgrades and reinstallations.
