I could reproduce doing: run until I got a call on Void put a breakpoint on {ISE_EXCEPTION_MANAGER}.constructed_exception_chain (last bp index) and try to evaluate expression l_exception.stack_trace It seems to be due to missing context.init_variable_scopes when checking expression for exp evaluator. (This seems to be done on the process_routine... level, so this seems logicial, we need to add such initialization somewhere, probably on {AST_DEBUGGER_EXPRESSION_CHECKER_GENERATOR}.expression_or_instruction_type_check_and_code I will test this solution .. soon.
