Sure, I agree. I think Apple could have been more explicit in its error
handling, but then again telling the user something like "Stack/Heap collision"
isn't going to help them very much. Most the errors I have seen come from
inherent bugs, not usually things that the user has "done", so there is nothing
a user could have "done" to prevent it.

But a sheet included with the mac telling what the first 'n' error codes mean
would have been nice.
