[Oberon] Trap from System.Quit in Native Oberon.

[eas lab]

You don't want to have to look-down-into the CPU registers,
unless that's one of your specialities.

ETHO's trap facility normally gives you the <sequence of calls>
which led to the final *CRASH*.
So, if you look deeper in the trap-stack, you should see the sequence
of procedures [which are easier for us to diagnose] leading to the
bare-metal-crash.

It would be interesting to look into System.Quit -- for someone who can
afford to open another can-o-worm.

IMO <System.Quit> is the <closing-bracket> that must match the
<opening-bracket> that <starts N-O>.
So there's an interesting topic that subsumes your particular problem.
