Thanks, Michael.

I get from that that I can enable exceptions for threadweaver without affecting the other libraries. This makes my job a lot easier.

If there are any concerns with this, please let me know. Since threadweaver jobs execute user code, it needs to at least be able to avoid blowing up.
