I'm worried about these too. I'm also getting exception related dialog 
boxes during Windows smoke tests; they don't even say what program they 
are coming out of. Not sure if that is the same problem; I'll try to 
isolate one of them and report details.

Which specific test are you concerned about? regex_regress_threaded? Any 
others?
