Re: how to crash on normally ignored exceptions

Yes, it seems quite broken at the moment...Both in the current version
and back in 10.0 and 10.1 I also occasionally have problems with the
debugger misinterpreting the symbolic information and line numbers, and
displays all the wrong stuff when I set a breakpoint. It becomes
impossible to step that code when what is shown on the screen doesn't
match what is really executed. It doesn't help to create a fresh
project with the same source files as before - the problem follows the
source...
