As you surely all know, this is common practice amongst various 
development environments and IMO wouldn't be a bad idea, at least as an 
optional (registry-configurable?) thing.  Since I set winedbg to pop up 
in my main terminal, I would be especially pleased by this, since it 
would allow me to choose which of the ten processes that simultanously 
crashed I actually want attached to a debugger... there are all kinds 
of fancy possibilities that immediately come to mind, of course, but 
talk is cheap.... oh, and another nice thing: this provides feedback 
for crashes that occur when no terminal is attached (instead of 
silently disappearing windows).

BTW, who the hell is Dr. Watson, and where can I find him 'cause I would 
like to beat him to a bloody pulp!  ;)
