 It was not luck, except the fortunate circumstance that Kyle
 implemented it around the time I ready was to use it. 
I meant it could still be that the fact that we not see the problem is 
just some silly timing issue..

 Is that a problem? 
I don't think so.

...
 We don't free *anything* starting just before
 exit(3) is called (the voodoo_free_hook hack). 
I meant the fact that when running xemacs (not temacs) the
malloc_state_ptr is not freed after it is used to reinit the
allocator. This code is #if 0'ed out without comment.

...
 I made a test on Demeter last night before she died, and I could not
 reproduce the exit(3) crash described above, but that may be due to
 differences between glibc-2.1 and glibc-2.0.7preX, or something else.
 I have upgraded practically everything between March of 1998 and now. 
Note: The crash only occurs on  glibc 2.1.1 (<-- Note the patch
level).
