Simulator crashes when using playdate.system.error

[ninovanhooff]

When calling playdate.system.error("somestring") the simulator prints the message in red to the console as expected.

When someone attempts to restart the simulator using cmd-/ctrl-R, the handler processes the event kEventTerminate. When you use certain functions ?that attempt to allocate?, the simulator freezes. Attaching a debugger shows a BAD_ACCESS_EXCEPTION after going trough a memtrace codepath

For a reproducible example, see ninovanhooff@79c8529

In this example it is the things.join call in proc print where the crash happens.

Reproduce:

Observed on Mac OS; simulator 2.6.2

• compile and start the exampe project in the simulator
• open the simulator console
• press up on the dpad.
• this produces the red "This is an Error message" in the console and pauses the simulator as expected
• When pressing the restart button, the simulator hangs and needs a force-close

The freeze does not happen when removing the print "testtest" line

Interesting -- I've got a branch that completely cuts out the memtracing code when it's not turned on. I'll clean that up and submit a CR. We can see if it helps.
