----------
No, they are not restored when exiting. MSK leaves the serial port
in its current state as MSK exits. Some folks think that two programs can
use the serial port at one time, by starting one program, pausing it while
the other runs, and then running the first some more. That generally fails
badly because the second clobbers what the first configured. MSK does
restore the previous interrupt handler, however.
