Off topic I know, but this is the nightmare that is bash login:

Lesson learned, .net contains unmanaged code and will not always follow your prescribed error handling path.

OK so the actual error was an access violation. This was occuring in Managed Code.
Code:try { callToWebService(parameter1, parameter2,auditAccount, parameter3); //Breaks here } catch (Exception ex) { LogEvent("Summat 'appened",9999); }
Because of my sloppy, but valid, code the web service call was implemented thus :
Code:callToWebService(parameter1, parameter2,System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name, parameter3);
ntdll.kiuserexceptiondispatcher
The thread in mscorlib collapses without trace, and windows bubbles the structured exception up until it hits service manager, which then dumps it to the event log with a rather vague message.
By splitting the code out into two calls, thus :
Code:string accountName =System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name; callToWebService(parameter1, parameter2,accountName, parameter3);
The only way to catch this behaviour was by attaching a debugger to the compiled image using WinDB and SOSex.dll.
Much fun had stepping through IDL and assembly, chasing down hex addresses as the integrated code view didn't work
