Error handling newbe

[Fred]

Hi, I need help ensuring that when an error is encountered in any of the
methods called by SystemTickMillThread that an error is written to debug. At
the moment the thread just dies and I am not notified of the failure.

The catch exception at the end is never triggerred and I do not know why. If
an error is encountered in SystemTickMillThread I would like some output.

Thanks.
