A tremendous number of people don't understand that "crash proof" systems 
like UNIX don't actually stop APPS from crashing, but rather they stop 
apps from crashing OTHER apps and the OS. When a UNIX app crashes, you 
just look at the core dump and find out what went wrong, recompile, and 
you're back up without a reboot.
