It does. For the configurations that supports it. Note though that behavior 
of _set_se_translator is runtime configurable. If you set 
catch_system_errors=no (using unit test framework) translator invokes 
debugger/causing immidiate crash.

I don't see it as a problem, rather as a feature. And /EHa flag needt obe 
added to build scripts to support it (unless someone always using 
catch_system_errors=no always).
