        Both of the above messages were to do with either getting dumps or
        tracebacks when tasks blow up. I have desires in the same direction but
        they run something like this:

        - when a dies it should dump its memory map contents to disk somewhere
        - it should be possible to get the dump data back in and crunch it
          with the debugger!!!!! to see what went wrong

        Anyone got any suggestions????

$ Run/Dump PROGRAM
$ Analyze/Process_Dump PROGRAM
