Debugging crashes during init

With a bit of experimentation, I've found that it gives the
     exited: {shutdown,{traderl_app,start,[normal,[]]}}
message when something crashes inside one of my worker processes' init() 
functions. So eg causing a crash inside my_app:start/2 or my_sup:init/1 
gives a proper error, but causing a crash inside my_proc:init/1 (which 
is a process that is started and supervised by my_sup) gives the above 
error.

Hope this helps,
Tim.
