trap for EXIT doesn't catch exit?

greetings,
in one of my zsh programs i'm creating a number of temporary files which
should be removed when the program execution stops or an error occurs
and i call 'exit'.
however after having specified 'trap CleanUp EXIT' the clean-up
function is not called when 'exit' inside a function is executed.
an example program (test.sh):
----start----
#!/bin/zsh
function CleanUp()
{
rm -f tempfile
}
function WillExit()
{
exit
}
trap CleanUp EXIT
touch tempfile
WillExit
----end----
$ chmod +x test.sh
$ ./test.sh
$ ls tempfile
tempfile
$
in my understanding the CleanUp() function should be called, evidently
it's not. what's wrong here?
thanks for your help,
