I am running into an ICE on windows - Assertion Failure on

Normally, 'abnormal program termination' is printed to the console;
however if I try to redirect stderr for greppage purposes, windows
presents me with a message box with the same message.
Any ideas how to disable this abomination?
Can you show us an example of how you're redirecting stderr..

dmd stuff 2>&1
I searched the DMD sources, just in case the message "abnormal program
termination" was DMD specific, and I found nothing. Then I searched all
files and the string appears in the dmd.exe binary, making me suspect the
compiler used to produce dmd.exe put it there, so perhaps there is a dmc
option to disable it.
If that's not it..
What Windows are you on? Do you have visual studio or another JIT
debugger installed?
I am on Windows 7 x64 and I have been playing with a test.exe (built in VS
in debug mode).
I can't get my version of windows to output "abnormal program termination"
no matter what I tried to make my application do assert, throw exception,
divide by zero, illegal pointer/memory write, etc.
If I do an assert(0) I see:
...>test
Assertion failed: 0, file ...\test.cpp, line 27
plus a popup window saying:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library"
"Debug Error!
Program:
...
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
(Press Retry to debug the application)"
I suspect the popup is a hook into the JIT debugger I have installed
(visual studio). By default some versions of windows use DrWatson
(drwtsn32.exe), later versions use something else.
Google found me this tho, might be helpful:
