i hope this is worth a few tens of microseconds of
amusement.
the problem is this. how to get a backtrace when
you may be killed by your parent who is cleaning
up after himself before somone wielding a debugger
has a chance to react? the amusing answer is just run
acid yourself. how? well just catch the note.
sleazy, no? think of it as one more reason to enjoy plan 9.
