Yeah, to be even *more* close to unix, you would os9exec() and then exit().
Then, to port to unix would only require changing the os9exec() to the good old
fork()-and-exec() all unix types have grown to know and love . I find it
weird that they (actually we - I work for AT&T!) didn't do the unix exec like
OS9's. You almost *never* see a fork() in a unix program without an exec()
right on its heels.
