Chris, the reason you have to export init() and eoj() is that they are called by static-linkage which means the binder has to be able to find them at bind time. The other procedures are called by dynamic-linkage, so the binder doesn't need to know about them at all. The %PADDR(prototype) references within the module can all be resolved when the module is compiled, so those procedures don't have to be exported.

(Wondering if I have misunderstood your use of "curious" - I think you already know all this ...)
