Oh, so have I - but it's indeed fairly easy to fix. Turning  
END_OF_MAIN() to a no-op on some platforms in this sense makes it  
easier to write platform-specific code, unfortunately.

Cool, I'd loke it to look like one of the following:

int main(void)
{
...
}

or

int main(int, char **)
{
...
}

?

It does sound like the sort of thing that seems a good idea at one  
time and then turns out to be a spectacular hack and blow up in your  
face at some point in the future.
But I'd still like looking into it if it's the best we can do. ;)
