Crash Reporter (wait for it... wait for it...) CRASHED!

Btw, the Crash Reporter came up when Firefox 3 crashed.
Oh, we're on Digg

if an application crashes in the woods and there is no crash reporter there to record the crash report, does it really report a crash?

Dr.Watson crashes too. Most people don't know it's the windows crash handler though so it gets much less attention.

The Dr. part doesn't help him at all either.

Firefox has its own Crash Reporter application - just look in the package and you'll see it. This is Mac OS's Crash Reporter telling you that Firefox's Crash Reporter crashed.

This is happening more and more with OS X. I used to laugh at Windows people for these sorts of things, but what with Safari's many issues and all, we Mac heads have little to gloat about these days.

See, when windows' crash reporter crashes it is much less graceful.

Especially because most people don't know that the crash reporter is "DrWatson post mortem debugger"

Now doesn't that sound nice?

At least nothing else is affected.

If it were Windows you would need to shut down, unplug your modem, mouse and keyboard for 30 seconds and then power up and hope you don't get a BSOD.

FYI: To capture a window in OS X, press CMD+SHIFT+4. Your mouse pointer changes to a crosshair. Move your pointer over the window you want to capture and press the SPACE BAR. Your pointer turns into a camera with the window highlighted in blue. Click to capture the window. This also captures the transparent shadow in the PNG file. Nice!
