Runtime exceptions are hard to pin down, and the code snipped you provided are unfortunately insufficient to be of any help.
If you are using Visual Studio to run your unit tests (e.g. using the google test adapter plugin), remember that you CAN debug those tests and that you can enable the capture of run time exections (they are not captured by default). The answer given to a similar question may be of help to you here.
In any case, if I had to give a guess, I'd suspect that a access of a nullpointer is the source of your troubles.
