- You can use a task monitor, like ARTM (=Amiga Realtime Monitor - that's
- what I use), to determine the starting addresses of all tasks.
- Unfortunately, this can't be done _after_ the crash... :-)
-
- So what I do in such a situation, is to start all tasks, check the starting
- addresses for each task, and... wait for the crash!!
-
- Maybe someone's got a better way?
