   I disagree.   
      
   There is no need for a "well behaved" C90 program to use C library   
   functions, as many C library functions are "well behaved", especially   
   those that are not host dependent, because the C library functions only   
   use the C language proper.  Therefore, you can conclude that any C90   
   program, even if it doesn't use the C library, is "well behaved", since   
   the library is built upon the C language proper, and the language is   
   "well behaved".  It's only when operating underneath an operating   
   system (OS) which implements host specific behaviors and OS specific   
   behaviors, that a C90 program needs to call the OS specific C library   
   to become "well behaved" with the OS.
