Description

Test asserts on "Damage after normal" block. Probably reason is that std::exception class declared in the EXCEPTION_DTOR.cpp has different layout from std::exception declared in the VC headers. Thus external .ctor/.dtor call damages memory beyond the memory block allocated for a class.
