I can boot with MacsBug installed fine. However, if MacsBug breaks, I lose
complete control over my machine (I have to hard reboot). THis may not be
the case while in X, but it happened when I was using MOL in console mode.
I know that it's when MacsBug breaks in because an extension I'm working
on had a Debugger() call in it.
Not sure what version I've got. Apple's site should have the newest though
=P
