hmmm...

the <script></script> snippet would be called when the fatal error occurred?

If so, it doesn't exactly follow the flow, which is:

1. good things happen -> user clicks exit button -> processing shuts down -> user closes browser

2. BAD things happen -> user sees fatal error screen where s/he must record some info for others to help resolve -> user clicks EXIT button and (hopefully) browser closes.

If I issue <script>close() when the fatal error occurs, wouldn't this preclude the error screen from appearing? The idea is that s/he MUST do something with the info on the error page.
