Welcome to BugHuntLite, the free memory protection library for PowerPC
developers using Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

BugHuntLite:
* validates reads and writes to memory - dropping into the debugger if an
illegal address is accessed;
* requires no source code changes (other then calling the initialisation
function);
* only validates memory operations performed by your program - if you ask the
OS to hose you, it will still oblige;
* is free - memory protection should be a right, not a privilege;
* is wildly incompatible with Virtual Memory (and probably RamDoubler);
* is written by a 'rogue' programmer, with no inside knowledge from
Metrowerks, Apple, etc.
* is only compatible with Metrowerks CW7 & CW8;
* only works with PowerPC code

This fixes a problem in BugHuntLite 0.9 & 1.0

Thanks.
Andrew Barry
