Normally Unix speeds me over >the problems by giving me a core dump when I trash memory ... Should there be another Q&A entry for the normal Unix users about tb and dde :-) ? Probably. However, I have found that most of the time, when I really really need a traceback, the program doesn't leave one. (I have not been able to figure out under what circumstances I get a traceback and when not). Is the analogous thing true under Unix, i.e., you don't get a core dump when you most need it?
