I find that when my program exits (i.e. the main() function ends) I get a
'Playstation generated an instruction exception at address 0x0' message from
PSComUtil, so I *have* to reset the Playstation.

With SIOCONS, the program exits gracefully and your back to the bricks screen.
With PSComUtil, when main() ends, the screen freezes with whatever image
happened to be on the screen at the time, and you get the instruction
exception.

Am I doing something wrong?
