I'm going to open my mouth again and let all know I am a fool.

I think (ie I'm *not* sure) that if Apollo allows the image of the
process
to be dumped (known as a core dump in the Unix community) whenever the
process bombs out, then we could use dbx, adb, sdb, etc to debug the core.
There should be a traceback somewhere in the core.
