First/Second Chance Exceptions Defined
"A debugger attached to a process can receive two types of notifications
for each thrown exception: first and second chance. The debugger gets
the first chance to handle the exception. If the debugger allows the
execution to continue and does not handle the exception, the
application will see the exception as usual. If the application does
not handle the exception, the debugger gets a second chance to see the
exception. In this case the application would normally crash if the
debugger was not present."
