void
Ns_Fatal(CONST char *fmt, ...)
{
     va_list ap;

     va_start(ap, fmt);
     LogAdd(Fatal, fmt, ap);
     va_end(ap);

     _exit(1);   /****   <<<<<  WHY THIS ????? */
}

Why not abort()?
This creates lots of troubles for us
to nail-down such problems:

nsd(17299,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=471502848) failed
(error code=3)
nsd(17299,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
nsd(17299,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to
debug
[11/Sep/2007:09:28:43][17299.2684415368][-main-] Notice: unable to alloc

[11/Sep/2007:09:33:56][17299.2684415368][-main-] Fatal: unable to alloc
471499774 bytes

I recall the Ns_Fatal bringing down the server and producing coredump.
Now it just exists and we have no clue how to see where the fatal
message is happening....
