TMON has discipline as one of the user area routines. You can choose between
lenient and strict discipline. Either way, most Macintosh applications make
slightly illegal calls.

Common problems are calling SetPort with a nil pointer and other similar
horrors. In fact, I just tried discipline on a bug I had been trying to
locate and it caught one illegal handle... I hope that was the problem.

Programmers: If you have TMON, use strict discipline before you sell, post
or give away any of your code. Discipline doesn't bother you unless there
really is a problem. I can't notice any slowdown while discipline is active.
