 112    The double loop lets us correctly handle code "break"ing out of the
 113    try catch block.  (It works as the "break" only exits the inner
 114    "while" loop, the outer for loop detects this handling it
 115    correctly.)  Of course "return" and "goto" are not so lucky.

 177    value is then returned by catch_exceptions.  If FUNC() returns
 178    normally (with a postive or zero return value) then that value is
 179    returned by catch_exceptions().  It is an internal_error() for
