No, new feature with 4.11.  Reason enough to upgrade to 4.11.  Minimizing 
downtime.

Pre 4.11, no what that I'm aware of.  Easier to prevent the crash than try to 
recover automatically from it.
4.11 appends the crash message to an audit log, first on the C drive, then 
copied to SYS once the server has rebooted.  This should handle cases where 
SYS goes into the weeds.
