No worries; I'm sure that the main reason (apart from pron) why the 
internet is so popular is just for people to vent their spleen!

I've just gone though my ATL port and taken out the special exception 
handling I had in and it just works.

It's even got a full stack backtrace, w/ DMD 2.058 :)

Cool. I never did like that special handling.

Though to go back to the OPs question then, that nothrow attribute is 
clearly erogenous now. Mind you I've never used the phobos provided 
win32 bindings as they were pants.
