> The implementation of operaror new in the MSVC 7 runtime library (but not the one in the C++ Standard Library, msvcprtd), fails to throw an exception on failure and instead returns 0. This works correctly in MSVC 8.
> Here's a reference to the MSVC 7 documentation of their libraries:

> #include <new>

> int main ()

>     _CrtSetReportMode (_CRT_ERROR, _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG);
>     _CrtSetReportMode (_CRT_ASSERT, _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG);
>     int success = 0;
>     try {
>         operator new ((unsigned long)-1024);
>     }
>     catch (std::bad_alloc&) { success = 1; }
>     catch (...) { }
>     assert (success);
