   Let's suppose C disallows abort due to external events... Then no   
   conforming C implementation exists.   
      
   I think we must suppose that susceptibility to power-cuts do not render   
   C implementations non-conforming.   
      
   That means a C implementation must only execute a program without   
   issuing a diagnostic if it has undefined behaviour sufficiently early in   
   its execution that any abort due to a power-cut, for instance, is permitted.
