The catch(...) only catches "structured exceptions" like divide by 0 and 
NULL pointer dereference if you build with /EHa (this is assuming VC++, 
don't know about gcc).  This is not recommended as it bloats code as well as 
not working very well in general.  Instead it is recommended you build with 
no exception handling or with /EHs or /EHsc, which enables traditional C++ 
exceptions only.  In addition to this, you can set a global handler for 
structured exceptions using SetUnhandledExceptionHandler() and 
AddVectoredExceptionHandler().
