I want to be clear on what you're saying Warner.
Are you saying that you put a printf() after your crash point,
but never saw your printf(). So in your code it might have
looked like:
printf("foo do foo\n");
crash_here();
printf("after the crash\n");
And never see the statement "foo do foo\n";
Is that correct?
