System: NetBSD orchard.medford.ma.us 1.0-ALPHA NetBSD 1.0-ALPHA (ORCHARD) #4: Fri Jul 22 10:36:08 EDT 1994 root@orchard.medford.ma.us:/u1/nsys/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARD i386

>Description:
	/usr/bin/true and /usr/bin/false are too big.
>How-To-Repeat:
	on i386, they're 12kb each.
>Fix:
	choose one or more:
	link statically.
	call _exit(); instead of exit();
	replace with one-line shell scripts.
	(though I hear AT&T has a copyright on those :-) ).

	Seriously, the minimum shared-library executable size seems to
	be 12K (3, 4k blocks), which seems to be larger than desirable..
