If you debug a program and and an unhandled exception occurs it behaves 
exactly as you expected. In the other modes (e.g. if you run the program) the 
same dialog appears, however "continue" and "break" behave the same and leave 
you with a terminated program. Maybe I should rework this dialog a little 
bit.
