What would you say is the correct thing to do in this situation ?

ILLUSION ?
Is that a newly defined C keyword ?

You have assumed that the locater has put main() at the highest 
address in memory. What happens (according to you scheme) if 
main() is located immediately before detonate() ?

You have also assumed PIC architecture, operation based on an 
undefined opcode and that the instruction returned from all 
addressable memory between the top of rom and PC rollover be 
executed as a NOP.

My personal preference would be a jmp $ after the closing brace, 
but I think I'd take Hi-Tech's approach over a mixture of undefined 
assumptions producing an illusion.
