> `ostream_exit` was deleting the stream underlying the `xtty` prior to nulling the `xtty` global variable, resulting in a use-after-free-error. Due to races during VM shutdown we cannot make use of `xtty` perfectly safe, but we can certainly narrow the window during which use-after-free is possible.
