I can't work on the patch, no time for that, sorry. It requires a deep
knowledge of the code base that I do not have.
For the one who (and whether) is going to implement it, I recommend to look
at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/debug/base/seterrormode.asp
In particular, SetErrorMode(SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS); can do the job,
if the rest of the code matches the conditions defined in the function
description.
Also _set_se_translator (
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5z4bw5h5.aspx)
could help to get a stack trace on crash and save it in the separate file,
so it can be investigated later by the developers.
