Hi George, I tried a little while ago to handle exceptions in the ROOT outer loop, but they never got trapped. Could you maybe have a look at this for me? See the file BASE_System.cxx in TSystem::Run(). If you compile ROOT with the flag -DR__EH all exceptions should be caught there, by catch (...).
