Nice idea, that's remember some 'guardian' process like the Firebird one.

But, there is a way to get the core dump on Windows OS ? I would like to 
find a solution for a generic program, like an pattern to have the error 
reported. 

I would resolve this problem before write the application, I want know 
all the app errors...

I understand, but what about a thread crash ? Could I write some 
informations on a log file from a catched signal of a secondary thread
(like division for 0) and perform a read from the main thread to send 
informations by email (for example)? Is it very fool?

Nice, but there is a way to do the same think on windows? With a library 
maybe? Do you know one that do this that is platform-independent ?
