You mean these marks saying "ANDR" or "KROM" in Magix memory? I don't
think it can be considered even a stopgap for real memory protection, this
is just a form of sanity checks. And well, I never saw MagiC recovering
"well" from anything (or perhaps the "SYSTEM ANGEHALTET" thing can be
named a recover?).
