TransferRoot crash

Hello,

I'm having some issues loading a STEP file with OC 7.3.0. My program crashes
when calling TransferRoot().

In debug mode, I get a "Fail : Exeption is raised" message, and the program
aborts with no crash, but nothing gets loaded.

In release mode, however, the STEP file does load on the first try, but
the program later crashes after loading the same STEP file 2-3 times in
re-entrant succession. And if the program doesn't crash, it usually hangs
after calling TransferRoot().

All other STEP files I tested work ok.

Messages in Debug mode:

*******************************************************************

Entity #2049
--> Fail : Exeption is raised. Entity was not translated.

Entity #1156

My question is, is there some way I can detect or avoid this exception in
Release mode, so my program doesn't crash? In other words, are there any
safeguards when calling TransferRoot()? I obviously don't want to use
debug mode binaries for production.

I'm compiling opencascade-7.3.0 with Visual Studio 2015 C++, on Windows 7, 64-bit.
Thanks.
