IIRC it does destroy them, but I can't be 100% sure about this without
checking it. It makes sense anyway, as there's no way for MiNT to check
which handlers belongs to TSRs and programs, atleast not with the currect
XBRA-protocol (correct me if I'm wrong here). So if you want to exit MiNT
successfully you'd have to restore the vectors to their original states.
