        I'm trying to refine the Win32 regression test so it can run
automatically 
        on a (more or less) daily basis.

        One of the problems with doing this is that some test programs
crash,
        popping up a error dialog which I have to manually clear. "Click OK
to
        terminate the Program" or similar.

The first thing that comes to mind is a catch(...) in the test tools
library.  This would solve the problem for VC, due to its merging of
structured and C++ exception handling.  I'm not sure about the other Win32
compilers.  I don't remember the rationale for not including a catch all in
the test library.  Is there a good reason not to?
