Unhandled Exception: Cannot print exception string because Exception.ToString() failed.

I ran an internal tool, and it communicated with a back-end service, and then displayed the error

Unhandled Exception: Cannot print exception string because Exception.ToString() failed.

I can’t figure out what that even means.

I waited a little while, then tried again,

It worked the second time.

Didn’t even need to turn it off and back on again.

In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
