To whoever wrote this symify for DJGPP... thanks! I came across a real
devil of a bug in the game I'm writing, not a stack trace thing but
actually what appeared at first to be a solid lockup, only you could
escape with ctrl-break and get a stack trace for symify...
it was a lifesaver. Turns out I'd accidentally deleted the line that
copies the back-screen buffer into video memory to make the thing actually
*visible*...
