I had a brief moment wondering about the general problem we have when calling out through FFI that we expose ourselves to bugs in the external library that crash the Image. I wonder... 1. Debuggers like gdb can run a program that crashes, without themselves itself crashing. Could our FFI calls be wrapped in similar mechanism? 2. Languages have exception handling, so that errors like divide by zero can be caught. Could our FFI calls be wrapped in similar mechanism? cheers -ben
