[REBOL] patching print & probe so they log to a file disk. [logs] [print] [probe]

Hi Giuseppe,
I changed subject,
in order to get some feedback after a crash, you can add this before running your code:
;--------8<--------- invisible logging --------8<--------
log-file: %/path/to/file.txt
*print: :print
print: func [data /log][
if not log [*print data]
write/append log-file append reform data "^/"
]
*probe: :probe
probe: func [data /log][
if not log [*probe data]
write/append log-file append reform data "^/"
]
;--------8<--------- invisible logging --------8<--------
this wont' cure all your problems, but now, at least, whatever you print or probe, gets
logged to a file, so you can print as much info as you can and review what happened AFTER
the crash... that's what I do when I get to a point where code becomes unstable.
It helped me find my crashing glayout issue.
can anyone tell me if there is a function which is used to add trace messages even if
only for netword stuff... maybe we can patch that one too so that trace gets silently
dumped to a file too... :-)
would be nice for off-line stats and access logs too.

You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being
part of the problem is much more fun.
