 Great !  Thanks, I will give this a try over the weekend.
 
 So far I have solved the problem by simple changing the structure of
 the exceptions that I throw.
 
 Previously, the exception that caused the problem was a class inherited
 from another class, again inherited from a base.  By only throwing 
 exceptions
 inherited directly from the base, the problem disappears.
 
 Thanks,
