[Live-devel] Graceful handling of socket error

[Ross Finlayson]

I pretty much agree with this.  What I'll probably do (in some future 
release) is change the calls to "abort()" to some new virtual 
function (of the "UsageEnvironment" class) called "internalError()" 
(or something).  The default implementation of this might still be to 
call "abort()", but developers can easily reimplent this in their own 
"UsageEnvironment" subclass if they wish.

And I also agree with you about C++ exceptions.  (They do exist in a 
couple of places in the code (to help implement byte-stream parsing), 
but I'd like to get rid of them someday.)
