I've just started a programming project on my A2500/30.  It occurred to me that
there might be some public domain utilities that use the MMU hardware to
prevent crashes.  It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to have the MMU
detect dangerous memory references, especially if it assumes you aren't
running other programs at the time, or, at least only well behaved other
programs.  I realize that general purpose memory protection isn't feasible at
this time, but anything is better than nothing.  I wouldn't even mind if I had
to use special library routines.  Anything to stop those annoying reboots.

So, does anything similar to this exist?  Or do I have to start debugging my
programs BEFORE I run them?
