           Summary: "Win32 Exception" not very useful
           Product: D
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-

          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3

Currently _d_translate_se_to_d_exception() translates almost any Win32 SE
(except for divide by zero, access violation and stack overflow) into a simple
D Exception with the message set to "Win32 Exception" and no hint what the
original exception was or where in the application the exception was raised.
This is not at least helpful if you want to locate a bug.

At least D should differentiate between the exceptions here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363082(VS.85).aspx
...or better get a copy of the original EXCEPTION_RECORD structure, or perhaps
the most significant members like ExceptionCode and ExceptionAddress.
