prokash,
Thanks for your hint. I experimented and it seems that __try __exception is
only allowed at passive level.
(not at dispatch level)

At high irql, exception handlers are not allowed. I did not dwell into it,
but the obvious thing is either context swaping or allocation of paged
memory that might be required when exception infrastructure has to be
invoked…

at microsoft site states some of it …
