Borland C++ 5.02 Exceptions

There is a bug in the exception handling routines in Borland C++ 5.02. There were discussions about the problem in Borland newsgroups, some of them can be read here:

• Problems with C++ Exception in BC 5.02
• Exceptions - Is this a know problem?
• Problems with Exceptions, BC5.02
• Destructor called twice

1. If the program experiences crashes, turn *off* the "Enable destructor cleanup" flag in the project options
2. Downgrade to Borland C++ 5.01, where the exception handling still worked.
3. Upgrade to Borland C++ 5.5, where the problem should be fixed. The Add-On Tools55 allows using BCC55 from BC5.02 IDE.
