Shouldn't a decent GUI environment be able to catch these kinds of errors and log them though? One problem with early write()s is that we can't do any locale-specific translation. The message is always going to be in English. That's something that the VSO approach solves for free, because it's then up to libc or the dynamic loader to print a suitable message.
