Oh, I would like to get exactly those error messages in Windows too.
When customers get "Unrecoverable application errors" they almost never
remember what they have done last. If they could write down the register
dump one gets with OS/2 on segmentation faults, I would have a chance to
track the bug down to the module/procedure where it occured.

Do you really want such useless error message like in Windows under OS/2?
