- Actually a trap 14 is a pretty useful piece of information if you have
- access to source code. Assuming the machine dumped all the registers
- to the screen, or you can get them out of the dump via crash, scribble
- them all down. You are most interested in the CS:IP pair - it says
- which function caused the access fault. If you have source, you can
- (maybe) find the troublesome line of code. If you don't have source,
- you can give this information to the nice person on the phone when you
- call your vendor ...
