    Correct, but frequently, my programs take down the DOS box when they
crash.  They do provide a traceback, but it 'instantly' dissapears when the DOS
box crashes as well.  The only info that windows gives is some 20-bit address.
I now always run my programs in bash with "2>error.txt", so I can symify it
later.
