To put it in a hopefully more helpful way..
Please write why your change is doing something, not what it is doing.

Saying what it is doing is OK if it's really hairy, but 99% of the time that isn't the case.

Assuming this is a libxo thing the commit log should have been something like..
"Use exit out of main otherwise libxo will not flush properly"
(or something similar)

Although it would be surprising if libxo required you to use exit()..
