After speaking with Jim Ingham, we came up with:

- eStateCrashed should be removed all together, anywhere that was using this 
should be changed to eStateStopped
- The thread stop info is where the info should be contained for crashes
- In the future, we should add a StopClass enumeration that has accessors on 
the thread stop info class where the enum is something like:

enum StopClass
{
   eStopClassNormal,    // Normal expected stop (used for breakpoints, 
watchpoints, etc)
   eStopClassCrash,     // Program will likely crash if there are no handlers 
installed
   eStopClassFatalCrash // This will always crash the program
};
