/* A server must occasionally print some message. It uses a simple version of
* printf() found in the system library that calls putk() to output characters.
* The IS server cannot use the regular putk() since we do not want to over-
* write kernel messages with the output of the IS. Hence, it uses a special
* putk that directly sends to the TTY task.
