Application.ThreadException doesn't catch in IDE

Very strange problem that is only ocurring in one application (that is, I
can create a brand new app and not experience this problem).

I have created a handler for Application.ThreadException, in my case in C#
that simply displays the unhandled exception.

If I choose "Debug" in the VS.NET 2003 IDE, exceptions never go into the
handler so the application, of course, terminates. If I then immediately go
into the bin/Debug folder and then run the exact same .exe by
double-clicking, the handler is used. Stranger still, once the app is
running after double-clicking on it, I can attach the debugger and the
handler continues to work.

What am I missing?
