//@Dan: Do you have a custom errorDialog handler in your message path?

I do not.

    True, but what would anyone go out of their way to write an error

    left alone?

    And some of the error info I see shared in the forums is from newer 
    users, who seem unlikely to have ventured into the relatively arcane 
    world of custom error processing.

    I hope I simply misunderstand what I've been seeing, that perhaps there 
    isn't something broken in recent versions of the IDE's error handling.

       1. Why didn't the debugger throw an error?  Instead, it put this error
          chunk in the message box?
