Ferret talk - Jun 2006 - Can not rescue ferret exception. What is wrong?

Hi,

I have a big index and wildcard query raises an exception. That is all 
right. The problem is I can not rescue this exception and it bombs right 
to user page. Why?

I am on Linux. Ferret 0.9.3 with C extentions.

=> nil
>> A.b
(irb):3:in `search'': : Error occured at <q_prefix.c>:54
(Exception)
Error: exception 6 not handled: Too many clauses
        from (irb):3:in `b''
        from (irb):8:in `irb_binding''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52:in `irb_binding''
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/workspace.rb:52

the errors raised by ferret aren''t subclasses of StandardError, and
''rescue'' without arguments defaults to ''rescue
StandardError''

''rescue Exception'' will rescue from all possible errors,
including those
from Ferret.
