We have an app that was written a few years ago in which the
developers wrote an entire exception handling system.

I have a problem with the following line if code:

OutStream << L" (+ " << std::dec <<
static_cast<DWORD>(Disp64) << L" bytes), ";

This is throwing the following exception:

Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'stIHM' was
corrupted.

This error usually indicates a buffer overflow, when the buffer is
allocated on the stack.

What makes you think it's this particular line of code that causes the
problem? How is OutStream declared? What's stIHM, and what other
variables are declared nearby?

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
