Already tried that. Unfortunately, backtrace is not written into the log file.

Tried using GDB too, that of course works, but is very inconvenient.
I ended up with running
gdb --command=C:\lazarus\run.gdb C:\lazarus\lazarus.exe
where run.gdb contains:
cd c:\lazarus
break fpc_raiseexception
commands
bt
cont
end
set logging on
run

So when I get exception in lazarus, it does not freeze,
but displays usual exception dialog, while backtrace gets written silently
to C:\lazarus\gdb.txt file. Still I think integrated feature would be better.

Yes, I was hoping there is already some hidden option for that ;-)
