When a djgpp program crashes, GO32 prints a stack trace on the screen.
Symify reads this info off the screen and uses the debug info optionally
stored in your executable to convert the numbers in the stack trace into
offsets from the beginning of each function.  It writes these symbolic
address on the screen next to the hex numbers originally there.
