The Debug kernels of Windows replace krnl286.exe, krnl386.exe and the
user.exe pieces of the Windows SYSTEM directory.  The debug versions of
these have significantly enhanced error checking so even miniscule
bugs in a program are caught by Windows.  This allow early detection
of problems not possible without (or at least almost impossible anyway)
the Debug kernels.  These kernels come ONLY with the MS SDK.
