Application "Nuked"

Dear all,

We're having some trouble with a Delphi 6 app that sometimes just disappears
without a trace. It happens within a timespan of typically 30 to 60 hours of
continuous uptime. It's a heavily multithreaded system, but all threads are
internally exception-safed (basically, a catch-all try-except block in the
TThread.Execute method, which should report the occurrence and nature of any
exception to a log file), so I'm rather at a loss to explain why we cannot
see any kind of error message at all. We use no third party components or
DLL's.

I'm wondering whether there's a knowledge base somewhere specifically
oriented toward grave application crash symptoms and their causes. Or if you
have experienced a similar situation and found the cause, it would be
helpful if you would share your story for me and others to possibly learn
from.

thanks!
