Gennadiy,

Unfortunately, this works for my code but not for 3rd party libraries
(brain dead though they may be :-) I was thinking of a
THROWING_ASSERT() or somthing which would do just as you suggested for
our code. I just felt it would be good to test the 3rd party in the
same way as our own code.

Thanks

Kevin
