If Delphi handles exceptions in DLLs, try to break into debugger
on first chance exceptions. In Debug | Exceptions... dialog, select
"Access violation" and "Stop always".

Note that it can cause the debugger to stop often, and you will have
to distinguish between "interesting" and "not interesting" exceptions.

It is also possible that Delphi has a setting that asks it to pass exceptions
to debugger, but I don't know it.

Oleg
