the standard is (insert favorite expletive or "in error") if it allows use of std::runtime_error to terminate the program due to low memory situations (run out of memory (due to copying) during stack unwinding).

Well, that's up to QOI, really. Anything can happen due to violated "implementation limits". Further, there's no requirement that std::runtime_error contain a std::string by value. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
