Matt,

I want to stress that writing your own error handlers is fine, but that they
shouldn't do any non-local control changes (exceptions, longjmp) if you want
to be safe.  Overiding the error handlers is mostly done to control where
the errors get reported - the default being to stderr.

Best regards,
