X := 0; Ln(X) seems to generated an exception without need to adjust
exception mask. The reason I ask is that I get a strange crash while doing
my charting program, I just suspected the reason being an exception is
slipped through without being caught.

As this happened outside of IDE, I don't know the exact reason. I will do a
screenshot and ask again.

Thanks.
