That's right.

You can write a JIT debugger that gets registered with the system. When a
second chance exception occurs, it gets invoked with the process id of the
process that caused the exception.

This works fine for CE 4.0 and higher I believe. CE 3.0 and earlier worked
sort of - the JIT debugger was invoked on *first* chance exceptions, so
wasn't a very practical solution.
