Once upon a time I wrote an application which used the `hook' from the
Resume button in the System Error dialogue box to do some recovery. This
worked very nicely, I attempted to do the same again under MultiFinder
but all I get is the MultiFinder dialgue box stating the the application 
unexpectedly quit. Is there any way to (maybe a flag somewhere) tell the system 
to give me the good ole System Error dialogue rather than the MultiFinder 
getting its paws on it and mucking up any crash recovery? It's not that my 
application crashes all the time, I've just not proven it correct so I assume 
the worst might happen one day and would like the users not to beat me up
when if happens....
