Is there a way to get the program name programatically so that this
works with any application?  For instance, I'm using this value
for Debugger:

c:\cygwin\bin\dumper.exe btserver %ld

but I'm guessing that it will not work if any other application dies.

Also, is there a way to cause a fault in a program for
testing, similar to 'kill -11 pid' ?

Thanks,
Ben
