If nothing else, it slows down debugging. For potentialy recoverable errors, how about making it a trap that something like SDB can catch... like it is for 68000 processor errors. It's so nice having it show me where my address violation is. Saved my lunch a couple of times. It may be desirable to make it even less traumatic than that. After all, there are a bunch of mistakes you can make that the Amiga software actually gives you an error code! Talk about dangerous programming! (Sarcasm mode on, in case you missed it...)
