Hello, I am wondering how to make the operator "new" return NULL instead of
throwing an exception when trying to allocate more memory than available.
The following was cut from the C++ draft:

  T* p1 = new T;             // throws bad_alloc if it fails
  T* p2 = new(nothrow) T;    // returns 0 if it fails

But the second example fails, saying that nothrow was undeclared. Is this a
bug in DJGPP or is there some special headerfile that has to be included?
