Right! I think if you are using a classic "core dump" to find logic errors in a 
compiled language program then you are doing something wrong.

To find an error in some big table or something, sure, but then the arrangement 
of the compiled machine instructions should not matter.

PL/I provides all the information required because it has debugging facilities 
built in.
