I saw that, but one wonders whether we might be alone and should just stop 
whining :)    I cannot understand how ignoring errors is a feature, but maybe 
it is to some???  One argument against the idea is that the file could grow 
very large over time, but it should not be too bad, and I would certainly want 
to know if my image is generating huge numbers of unhandled execeptions.  That 
is all the more true on servers and embedded systems.

A possible compromise is something I did a while back and need to press back 
into service: a rotating (for lack of a better name) file stream.  It uses one 
stream for a set period of time, then opens a new file and begins writing to 
it.  It leaves a seriies of files named for when they were opened.  I did it to 
avoid having something get hung up (the concern was mostly defective USB 
drivers) and taking out all of our data from an experiment vs. just costing us 
the last ten minutes worth.  Something even simpler could probably work here.

In another thread I asked to count one vote plus for this.

Something else that I would very much like to see done to the debug log is to 
append new entries vs. overwriting them. A lot of useful information is 
destroyed that way. What do others think?
