We definitely use exceptions within non-main threads, which are callbacks of 
a kind, I suppose.

I'd have to go look to see if we have any exceptions within window 
procedures.

It would be really useful to know whether it is safe to throw an exception 
within a callback, provided it is caught before the callback returns. Does 
anyone know of anyone who might be able to answer that?
