My favourite syntax error message produced by the Glockenspiel C++ compiler (a cfront derived piece of junk that I used in a training company in the early 90s) was simply "core dumped". This was slightly tricky to explain to people already struggling with C++, and who had paid us money for the course.

The users could simply run a debugger to get a backtrace from the core file... then with some experience, they would learn to associate different hex addresses with different kinds of errors. No harm, no foul.

I take it that you have never worked for a training company :-)
