RE: [GD-Windows] Finding routine that's crashing

[Brian S. <bs...@mi...>]

You can get OS symbols here:

You can also try stopping immediately on exceptions (start your app,
then go to Debug->Exceptions->Stop Always).  That might put on the
brakes before your call stack gets trashed.

good luck!  --b.
