ok, how about this. I give pm an arex port. And I also let pm display
messages sent to him via arex. When the library detects an illegal
condition it sends a string to pm and pm puts it up. The library itself
cannot put up the message since it does not open any other libraries, nor
does it have control over how much stack it was given.
Couple more questions.
Do I just wait till opencnt goes negative globally? Or should the library
track particular tasks.
If I track particular tasks should I automatically close the library
for that task if it disappears from the system? Or maybe I should just
send another message stating that a task was lost.

Although I do contract work for Amiga-LosGatos, my opinions probably
don't represent those of Commodore or its management or its engineers,
but I think the world would be a better place if they did.
