It is of course nice when you have a decent bug you can reliably
reproduce in a debugger and a test environment. But too often the post
mortem analysis is all you have.

No! programs that crash must be run on a debugger separated from the
init system whatever it is ! then you may be able to recover the
"temporary" files if not already unlinked by the OS...
