Standing by.  Eagerly.  I'd like to see this crate try to roll its own
kernel.

I believe it, I just don't believe it.  Is this related to stack
direction?  (What is it: grows down on parisc but up on Intel and most
other Linux-supported processors?)  If so, what is more fiddling with on
its stack?  Does it alter its behavior based on argv[0]?  Oh well, not
really too important now, I guess.
