 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? :)
