I am teaching myself acid, the language. As an exercise, I am
rewriting /sys/lib/acid/malloc so that it will work for a sparc
and a 386. Now I have a couple of questions.

1) library loading order

>From acid(1), although not explicitly stated, I got the impression
that at start up, acid loads its libraries in the following order:

    /sys/lib/acid/port
    /sys/lib/acid/$objtype
    $home/lib/acid
    /sys/lib/acid/library_specified_by_ell_option

But the actual order is:

    /sys/lib/acid/port
    /sys/lib/acid/library_specified_by_ell_option
    /sys/lib/acid/$objtype
    $home/lib/acid

Is this a bug or a feature? (if it's a bug, fix seems easy.)

2) "_exits" name conflict

I always get a name conflict for _exits. Where does it come from?
