I am using it to find memory problems before I segv in later code.
Basically, I implemented a protected list which monitors access to itself.
If an assert fails, then I want to dump core right there so I can more
easily debug the situation. First time I ran it, I prompty brought my
machine to it's knees with about 50 forked processes :)
Changed it to just core the current process, I'm debugging anyway.
