    type:         longword (unsigned)
    access:       read
    mechanism:    by reference
    The 32-bit address of the buffer into which to write the fault
    data. The report_buffer argument is needed only if the value of
    the report_method argument is AFR$C_BUFFERED.

    32. However, a larger buffer allows for more information to be
    collected.
