This used to be how it was done.  Standard I/O was in its own library.
You specified it as an option to the loader.  This caused a different
version of exit to be loaded.

I notice that the MINIX stdio is not true to the V7 code, at least not
in tar, in that it runs buffered to a terminal.  It's a pain for tar to
do this.  V7 used to do isatty in making this determination, but there
are probably better ways.
