Did the info above come from a Dr Watson log?

I finally did some searches over the weekend, about what was required.
It was in response to a posting about intermittent crashes on XP. I am
assuming that the information would be helpful to our esteemed
developers. 

Search results didn't specify any special application level support.
Terminating the program with an exception was implicit. Error log
creation is configured at OS level. The options can be set directly in
the registry or through the Dr Watson interface (I think it is
drwatson32.exe).
