FWIW, it is possible to avoid ever displaying the dialog boxes that
you see, by installing an exception filter.

LONG CALLBACK exception_filter_function(EXCEPTION_POINTERS*)
{
    std::cout << "Crash!" << std::endl;
}
// ...
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(&exception_filter_function);

I'm quite certain that Gennadiy's testing framework already does this,
and outputs a diagnostic message to stderr/stdout instead of popping
up windows.
