Max 7 - bug tracking? Error logging?

Is there any chance we can get error logging in Max 7?

It's a real pain tracking down errors when you have a crash. You're just left completely in the dark as to what has caused the crash.

Would save so much time!

Another thing that would be great in M4L is that when Max crashes, for it not to take Live with it. Max could be able to crash on it's own without crashing Live as well.

you'd have to run Max in a separate process in order to be able to do that and it would introduce latency

I'm not sure why mine crashes but it's really buggy. I would never use it live. It crashes too much. I can't figure out a reason for it and the tech support just asks me to take apart my patch and figure it out. It crashes on so many patches that i can't really isolate the problem.

If I add audio...CRASH!!!
If I make some changes to MIDI...CRASH!!!
If I look through the file browser...CRASH!!!
If I do anything with jitter...CRASH!!!

I love the subscription because i can finally buy it instead of using other people's computers. However, I'm getting quite discouraged. It crashes about 10-15 times an hour for various patches.

In an hour of work it probably crashes 10 times for various reasons.
