I think this is standard MS Windows response and beyond the control of
anyone.

I think this is incorrect. I can disable such error reporting in Windows XP easily enough (Right-click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Error Reporting). In there, I can edit a list of programs that do not report their errors to MS (or disable such reporting system-wide). I am fairly sure there is a corresponding API call to add programs to that list, or worst case a Registry key somewhere which holds the info.

If the end user (at least an end user with local admin privileges, I'm not sure if an unprivileged user can change these settings) can do it, most likely a programmer can do it too. In which case, the Windows installer for the SWORD utilities could disable such error reporting for those utilities.
