In Lattice the bug is in the AStartup.obj file.  When the
program is started from the CLI it fails to close the dos.library.
From Workbench it does it ok.  This causes no particular harm.

A long time back I wrote a set of new "Startup.obj" modules for Lattice
because of an unrelated problem.  I think I even posted them to comp.
{binaries,sources}.amiga.
They are: "CLIStartup.obj" (Will only start from CLI.  If tried from WB
it brings up a Requester that says "...must be started from the CLI...".)
"WBStartup.obj" (For CLI or WB programs that need no command line parameters
(very small)).  And "BothStartup.obj", a complete clone of Astartup.obj
that is half the size and bug-free.
