Debugger catches first-chance exceptions. From WinDbg help:
First Chance Exceptions
Each kind of exception (access violation, stack overflow, and so on) can be raised to a debugger as either a "first chance" or "second chance" exception. First chance exceptions are, by definition, non-fatal unless they are not handled properly with an error handler, at which point they are raised again as a second chance exception (which only a debugger can handle). If no debugger handles a second chance exception, the application is shut down.
Hope this helps
