System: NetBSD leon.imf.unit.no 1.1_ALPHA NetBSD 1.1_ALPHA (NIKITA) #1: Sat Nov 4 01:00:55 MET 1995 arnej@leon.imf.unit.no:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/NIKITA i386


>Description:
	sync uses exit(3), which drags in large parts of the C
	library. using _exit instead gives a much smaller binary.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Observe in /usr/src/bin/sync/sync.c, or ls -l /bin/sync (on i386):
	-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  36864 Nov  4 01:33 /bin/sync
>Fix:
	
	Replace exit with _exit in source code.
