 * \brief Functions to help clean up when a fatal error
 * is encountered.
 *
 * The functions in this group are used to perform
 * limited clean up, like flushing active streams, when
 * fatal errors are encountered (through assertion fail,
 * calls to NS_ABORT_* or calls to NS_FATAL_ERROR).
 *
 * Currently, other than flushing active ostreams, these
 * functions does not interfere with outside memory.  There
 * is still a residual risk that invalid ostream
 * pointers may be present, and may corrupt the memory
 * on the attempt to execute the flush() function.
