[Dev-C++] Catching illegal pointer access

Hi!

I'm a DevC++ newbie and I'm still trying to get used to it. I wrote a =
test program to see what happens if I try to access the contents of a =
null pointer. I wrote the illegal access inside a try/catch block, but =
instead of executing the catch block, the program simply shows an error =
message and aborts. I set the code generation settings to enable =
exception handling, but it didn't work. Can't this kind of error be =
treated as an exception? If not, how can I keep my program from =
aborting? I would apreciate if anybody helped me. Thanks!

Daniel Ferreira.
