When building DX native files, if you incorrectly presume a "string" is
a string and not a character:
#
object 3 class array type string rank 0 items 2 data follows
"a string"
"another string"
#
DX will core dump rather than generate a meaningful message to let you know
there's an error somewhere in your data stream. BTW the above should
instead be rank 1 shape >= 15 to be valid.
Though this one is cockpit error (the user's guide mentions this nuance in
Appendix B), DX should be more helpful here.
