 You do. Although it's not just you (see also: the vdigit module).

 vect, ...) with -fexception by default?

 The GRASS libraries exist for GRASS, not QGIS.

 Right now, I'm actively trying to think of ways to make life harder for
 anyone trying to use the GRASS libraries for anything except GRASS
 modules.

 There are basically two types of people in the world: those who understand
 how much effort is saved by relying upon the OS' process mechanism for
 memory management and error recovery, and those who want the GRASS
 libraries to be usable in persistent applications.
