To put it in a hopefully more helpful way..
Please write why your change is doing something, not what it is doing.

Saying what it is doing is OK if it's really hairy, but 99% of the time =
that isn't the case.

Assuming this is a libxo thing the commit log should have been something =
like..
"Use exit out of main otherwise libxo will not flush properly"
(or something similar)

Although it would be surprising if libxo required you to use exit()..
