Hi all!

I am doing a little C++ programming and I am trying to catch exceptions that 
are thrown by some STL-functions / classes.

Example:

vector <int> myvec;
try
{
        while (1)
                myvec.push_back (0);
}
catch (...)
{
        // ..do something..
}

When the system finally runs out of memory, shouldn't it throw an exception 
and should't I be able to catch it?

Am I doing something stupid here? Or just something wrong?

I am using DJGPP 2.8.1 with the correct spec-file.

Thank you,
