I disagree. I think that most of the time, given the way the Amiga is set up,
you would see this sort of failure mode. There are too many tasks popping
in and out. Why don't you SetFunction(OpenLibrary) and implement one of
your plans... and see what it does.

The only way to do this safely would be to track libraries on an ownership
basis (per-task/per-library). This would require some code changes.

Neither. I want it to say:

	Fatal error: Library closed twice.
	This error occurred in ieee.library.
	The responsible task was probably Ray-Trace-4d.
	Click left mouse button to reset.
	Click right button to kill Ray-Trace-4d.

AT the very least, the GURU message should be replaced by something like
this.
