Just going to say I didn't know the difference between APP_QUEUE and
UI_QUEUE (I thought they were your program's different threads), but I'm
using VUM_NOW because it gives me a better idea of where crashes are coming
without going into Swat (286 target isn't fun. With "ec all" it took 11
minutes to start my program, and didn't provide any more help)
