If it is C++ and the library throws an exception, you can wrap it with some proper glue and either handle it yourself in some way or throw a BlitzMax exception.

Thanks Brucey, but I'm using the plain C interface of the lib, and I don't want to make C or C++ code, only BlitzMax code.

The lib obviously needs some fixing so it doesn't crash, but until then, I'm looking for a solution. It seems it's only one model format that makes it crash, so I'll disallow that for now.

But maybe I could call the extern in a thread and have only that crash...
