Right. Think of the remaining instances of exit() as if they were
abort() -- an that's certainly viable even from within a library.
I have never seen any of them triggering during all the time (and none
of them is ever supposed to trigger on a sane operating system).
If we agree, I don't mind turning them into real abort()s either.
If someone is really adventurous in their application, they could
then still install a handler for SIGABRT. ;-)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
