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.
