Well, I originally hacked the hello-world app but you and Heinrich
both asked for a new one[1].

It does something strange in that it exits boot services, then exits
back to sandbox, so that I can test that the EBS doesn't do anything
odd. It was causing a hang booting Ubuntu due to a bug I later fixed.

Simon
