Check what the startup code that the compiler (and/or linker) is attaching
to your program is doing to/for you.  This can often be quite educational.

These days it seems a lot of startup code is doing too much for my
taste...declaring library bases, opening and closing libraries
automatically, etc.  You are probably running into one of these
cases.

If not, its still pretty interesting, seeing what is being added to
your program.
