recall that the stack does get used before you get to it if the program 
is dynamically linked, i.e. by ld.so and friends. So things are 
differentin static vs. dynlink. This caused no end of trouble for 
ill-behaved programs when we moved from sunos 3.5 to sunos 4.0. Lots of 
formerly working programs just broke. "it's sunos 4.0s fault". Not quite 
:-) "No automatic initialization"
