Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

1. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
2. Create a new Console Application project using Microsoft Visual Basic. By default, Module1 is created.
3. Replace the contents of Module1 with the following code:

   Module Module1
       Public i As Integer = 10
   
       Sub Main()
           MyProc()
       End Sub
   
       Sub MyProc()
   
           'Recursively call the same procedure until
           'a StackOverFlowException is thrown
           MyProc()
       End Sub
   End Module
   					

4. Save the project.
5. On the Debug menu, click Start. Note that the code execution stops with the following exception:
   An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in <Application>.exe
6. Click Break to enter break mode.
7. On the Debug menu, point to Windows, and then click Immediate.
8. Run the following statement from the immediate window to print the current value of the variable:

   ?i
   					

   Note that the project resets and is no longer in break mode.
