procdump not dumping on unhandled exception

Question

I just started playing around with procdump and and I want to have a full dump of an application when an unhanded second chance exception occurs.
According to the documentation I run it likes this:

procdump.exe -ma -e -x C:\CrashDumps C:\Code\CrashApp\CrashApp\bin\Debug\CrashApp.exe

CrashApp.exe is a simple console application that throws an exception when started.
This is the output I get:

Press Ctrl-C to end monitoring without terminating the process.

[23:54:52] The process has exited.
[23:54:52] Dump count not reached.

As you can see he reports an unhanded exception but doesn't create a dump.
What am I doing wrong here?

Since .net tag is present, I suspect that you are monitoring managed process. If so, then add -g command line option and procdump will work as you expect.
