- I know it's not much comfort, but the "trap" message output is not quite the
- same thing as a crash, a true crash being where the CPU goes wild and perhaps
- proceeds to wipe out your hard disk.
- Also, the fact that it outputs a diagnostic including the address of the
- problem makes it more likely that it will be corrected (you are going to
- file a problem report right ?). BTW, trap 000e is a page fault, and is quite
- serious.
