If you unexpectedly trap into Macsbug, doing:
>PC 5000
>SM PC A9F4
>G
Usually gets you back to the finder without having to re-boot. It even seems
to work after receiving a "bomb" dialogue, just use the interrupt button to
get into the debugger. (All it does is force the execution of the ExitToShell
trap).

Question: Has anybody perfected the art of getting a symbol table out of the
Sumacc loader that would be useful in dealing with Macsbug?
