   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?

   DOS ... is still a real mode only non-reentrant interrupt
   handler, and always will be.                -Russell Williams

I would like a core dump and adb.
