problem areas

I've noticed a problem with Linux that often goes unmentioned. It's called an "abend." And here is what an abend is: "An error condition that results in the abnormal termination of a program."

Abends happen all the time with windows, and with linux.

Programmers need "abend dumps." These are error reports provided to the programmer to aid him in interpreting the cause of the abend.

Alternatively, I want to propose a solution: each program should be given its own absolute or machine address. I do not know if this is done in Linux. But it would stabilize the system, while the abend is happening/recovering/whatever.

I just noticed another thing I want to add to discussion.

Linux, in addition to having a kernel, it needs a higher-level abstract execution layer which could assign a "dump" area for absolute addressing to particular program executions/operations/terminations.

I hope this is helpful to you programmers who are always looking for the better and more powerful Linux.

Or I'm wrong and Linux is not just running on its engine alone, it has some kind of database area.

I'm new to programming, but I thought I should note this in case a more experienced programmer knows more than me.
