Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm using GCC and GDB and it can do this as well,
but the problem is I get too many nuisance breaks because there are a bunch of
exceptions clustered together.  I don't know which one is the problem one so
it's very tedious investigating dozens of them until you find the one you want!

Cheers,
