Note that the ~4-5Kbytes saved on disk space by puting printf in system
space is *per program using printf* (most C programs), but the same space
lost in system space on the VAX is a one-time thing. I don't understand why
UNIX on the VAX doesn't make more things system calls. Look at how much VMS
has sitting down there.
