- which reminds me... is there anything deeper that prevents MiNT from
- just writing a core file in these cases? that would be much more useful
- than printing addresses only... (of course should be configurable and
- maybe start up with size limit 0 for those poeple who will never use a
- debugger. but even they could still gzip |uuencode |mail author the
- thing when they get crashes the author otherwise cannot track down...)
-
- am i dreaming again? :)
