I think that this one:

is potentially a hazard, which is why I made sure to use write_stderr
later on in the console interrupt handler. Your original suggestion
to use write_msg would end up going through fprintf, which might well
use malloc internally. (It's possible that Windows' version of write()
could too, I suppose, but that's probably as low-level as we are
going to get.)
