Anyone hacking on the assembler/loader?  The way many Unix systems
avoid calling in stdio when they don't need it is that they have two
routines named exit() in their library.  The one that comes *before*
printf, _flsbuf, sprintf, fread, etc., doesn't call cleanup().  The
exit that comes *after* those routines does.

This idea goes all the way back to (at least) Version 7.
