Thanks for the suggestion.
When I get more feedback from several people, I'll see what improvements
can be made. I've used crash_routine() myself to e-mail ex.err's 
and other debug info from remote CGI programs. A translated program 
that dies, normally just reports a machine-level exeception, with
no traceback or variable dump, but with crash_routine() it can 
output useful debug info before dying. There are probably many
other useful things you can do.

I know, it sounds simple, but there are some complications.
I'll look at it again.
