digitalmars.D.learn - How to catch RangeError in unittest?

I have a function add(index, data) which throws RangeError if the

unittest { // is supposed to test that RangeError is thrown on a 
range violation
    assertThrown!RangeError(add(size_t.max, something)); //which 
doesn't work, the test is killed with core.exception.RangeError: 
Range violation

    // this kills the test, too: core.exception.RangeError: Range 
violation
    try {
      add(size_t.max, something);
      assert(false, "Expecting RangeError");
    } catch (RangeError) {}
}

Just for clarification, I do _not_ intend to catch RangeError 
outside of a unittest. What I want is that the test acknowledges 
the correctly thrown RangeError and gracefully reports success.


What are my options?

Never mind. For whatever reason RangeError is now caught. Sorry 
for the noise.
