cog and crash.dmp

Hi!

Not my turf, so I'm a little puzzled!
Does the latest cog vm for windows (7) also write a crash.dmp file to the vmpath when it crashes? The dialog says so, but I can't find the file in that directory. I have permission to create/write files in that directory.Is there some sort of switch/ini-Setting I have to set to make the vm dump that file on a crash?

The Cog VMs write crash.dmp to the vm log directory which is set by primitiveSetLogDirectory. The log directory appears to default to the empty string which may default to the current directory. I'll see about trying to harmonize the behaviour with the standard VM. See the attached for an interface, but I wouldn't rush to include this in trunk yet.
