Bug 385

---- Reported by sgothel@jausoft.com 2010-03-22 12:46:25 -0400 ----

At several places in the source, catch(Throwable) is used for no reason that I've been able to uncover. This, of course, has the nasty effect of hiding certain severe errors that should normally abort the VM (and dump a stacktrace) immediately - in my case, a NoClassDefFoundError due to a filename typo somewhere, but most Errors qualify for this treatment.

            Is there a good reason all Throwables are often caught instead of only Exceptions? If not, it should probably be replaced by more debugging-friendly error checking.
