[DUG] app terminating abruptly

[Ross Levis]

I've got madExcept installed and enabled it initially when this problem 
started, but guess what, the app still terminates with no error box or 
anything.

It is also not a proper program closure since the system tray icon stays 
in the system tray until you move the mouse over it.

I didn't know about OutputDebugString.  What I did do is write a Debug 
unit which outputs a string to a file.  I haven't yet put a line into 
every procedure and function at this stage so that may help as well, but 
I have a timer at 10ms doing things like checking for data on TCP 
sockets and various other things so this file will get big very fast.  I 
think I'll change it to keep only the last few lines.

Cheers,
Ross.

Use madExcept [http://www.madexcept.com/madExceptDescription.htm] it'll 
give
you a call stack for each thread running when the crash occurs.  Since 
using
it our tricky unexplained crashes have turned into 'it crashed there, 
now
why did it do that' type problems.
