Keep in mind that the failed assertion is not the cause of the error
or crash, though. The crash happens because there is a bug somewhere
in RB, and if that bug is hit, then RB will crash no matter if there
is a Failed Assert msg or not.

What's terrible is the instability of the runtime system, and
the fact that RS does not seem to care much about doing improvement
in the "last" resort area (do I need to provide examples? Better
don't get me started :-)
