Yes, you need to override global operator new on VC6 to comply with the
standard:
For non-MFC:
#include <new.h>
Call _set_new_handler witha ptr to a function that throws
std::bad_alloc.
For MFC
#include <afx.h>
Call AfxSetNewHandler witha ptr to a function that throws
std::bad_alloc.
Don't forget to restore the original handler before you exit.
There are nightmare issues with doing this for DLLs, but it can be made to
work.
Search web and newsgroups.

But VC6 just returns 0.
