I'm having trouble debugging a DFL program because DFL wraps its main loop in a try/catch that puts up a error dialog.  If I hit continue on the dialog it just pops back up again.  If I hit cancel on it a fall back to the ddbg prompt, but 'us' gives nothing.

I asked about it on the DFL forum and Chris said that he hasn't any trouble debugging using WinDbg because of that.

So could this be a problem with how ddbg handles exceptions that occur in the debugee?

i think that problem was reported before and i just fixed it. ddbg used to *handle* exceptions, now it only intercepts them and causes the win32 exception handling mechanism to look for another handler if you continue the debuggee.
i'm working on finishing the 0.11 atm, so it shouldn't be too long until i can release it.
