Where is this mythical beast that SCO has given birth to?  Yes, the one
that "simply doesn't crash in the first place"?  Could you please enlighten
me as to what unique version of the operating system that you are using?

There is never any good excuse for any operating system to be without
the ability to dump itself when it crashes.  It is laziness, pure and simple.
