Comment 63 for bug 365881

I would normally prefer to turn something like this off for a short a time as possible, but it is worth noting that the Microsoft documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680621%28VS.85%29.aspx says

"Best practice is that all applications call the process-wide SetErrorMode function with a parameter of SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS at startup. This is to prevent error mode dialogs from hanging the application."
(SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS is a constant value 0x0001)

That might be the simplest solution to implement.
