Re: MONITOR not catching MCH3601

["James Perkins" <jrperkinsjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,
If I had to guess I would say the error is happening somewhere higher up
your call stack. The monitor will only monitor errors from the program you
called and not any other programs called.

Hope this helps (but probably not in this case),
