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,
