We're not a library. We're a very, very, very, very specific piece of software that is required to absolutely, positively fully emulate Windows to the closest extent possible (within practical limits, of course). As such debating whether to delay a crash by adding useless checks *that do not exist in Windows*(!) to *work around* strange behaviour most likely caused by our own non-conformant code is utterly pointless. If there's a problem that we need to be aware of, then we'd better get to know about it NOW, not 5 lines, not 3000 relay lines and not 10 minutes after it occurred and nobody ever remembers what the actual problem was.
