I have vb.NET console application that I execute in batch from CDM.exe. When
submitted via a 3rd party tool, or by hand myself, the application will
sometimes return immediately with no error message just a command prompt. I
can then arrow up to get the same command and press enter and it may run the
second time.

My main routine starts with a try, the first command in the try is a
console.writeline, my traps log nothing, my console.writeline message does
not appear, the application appears to be 'stillborn'.

This effect is found in my test and prod environment but never in dev.

Please help a desperate man.
