Hmmm, that's a *very* contentious statement. How often have you encountered an 
unexpected exception from some low-level code you don't own under circumstances 
you can't control? If your app crashed every time you'd soon have a reputation 
for unreliability that is in all probability undeserved. On balance it's better 
to carry on with some minor glitch than "quit unexpectedly". I guess if you are 
really concerned about this, install your own top-level handler.
