Or a vulnerability.

It's quite easy to make prevent a error dump file from being created, and
provide nonsense error messages, thus hackers wont have any idea.

without warning
include machine.e

crash_file("")   -- "NUL" or "/dev/null" works too
crash_message("Crikey, shes a grumpy little one!")

function prog_crash(object crash)
    machine_proc(26,0)
    return 0
end function

? 1/0  -- crash

crash_routine(routine_id("prog_crash"))
