This does not seem to be addressing the problem - why do we suddenly 
start getting SOE when running this test? I asked that question in the 
bug report. If something has changed to trigger this then we need to 
ensure that change was intended/desirable and then look at how to adjust 
the test - not simply catch the SOE and ignore it.

Thanks,
David
