/**
 * This error is thrown whenever an unrecoverable error
 * occurs internally in SWT. The message text and error code 
 * provide a further description of the problem. The exception
 * has a <code>throwable</code> field which holds the underlying
 * throwable that caused the problem (if this information is
 * available (i.e. it may be null)).
 * <p>
 * SWTErrors are thrown when something fails internally which
 * either leaves SWT in an unknown state (eg. the o/s call to
 * remove an item from a list returns an error code) or when SWT
 * is left in a known-to-be-unrecoverable state (eg. it runs out
 * of callback resources). SWTErrors should not occur in typical
 * programs, although "high reliability" applications should
 * still catch them.
 * </p><p>
 * This class also provides support methods used by SWT to match
 * error codes to the appropriate exception class (SWTError, 
 * SWTException, or IllegalArgumentException) and to provide
 * human readable strings for SWT error codes.
 * </p>
