Yes, OK, it still generates Win32 exception for the following ones:

        case STATUS_INTEGER_OVERFLOW: // not supported on any x86 processor
        case STATUS_IN_PAGE_ERROR:
        case STATUS_INVALID_DISPOSITION:
        case STATUS_NONCONTINUABLE_EXCEPTION:
        case STATUS_BREAKPOINT:
        case STATUS_SINGLE_STEP:
        // In DMC, but not in Microsoft docs
        case STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION:
        case STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE:

Perhaps the breakpoint one is important enough to treat specially. I'd
forgotten that you can generate it without having a debugger attached. I'll add
it in. The others can only be generated by compiler/runtime errors, I believe.
