- Wai> Does MACH support system partial failures at all?

-
- Yes it does. For example if DOS does some "incorrect" interruption,
- the system falls to the ddb debugger. The same is true with many Mach
- and UNIX problems.
-
- You can test ddb by pressing Ctrl-Alt-D (returning with cont) and read
- about it with man ddb.
