Using C++ 5.02, I use a class derived from TThread.  Everything works fine
until I throw an exception in the thread.  The exception class constructor
gets called as it should but when the constructor returns, the program
crashes -- it tries to write into location zero.

When I use the exact same functions but called from the main thread with the
same exception condition, I end up in the appropriate catch() clause.

Is there some caution I must use when throwing exception in a spun-off
thread?
