1. A method comprising:
operating a computer using a platform running on a set of processor(s) to produce recently captured output data, with the platform including file system memory structured and/or programmed to hold working data; detecting an error in the operation of the computer; and responsive to the detected error, processing the recently captured output data and working data held in the platform's file system memory to create a first trace entry.
