Does it make sense to catch exceptions in the main(…)?

Question

I found some code in a project which looks like that :

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  // some stuff

 try {
  theApp.Run();
 } catch (std::exception&a

According the the Windows spec, the main isn't allowed to throw. (practically it results into the message that asks if you want to send the bug-report to Microsoft)
