Subject: throwing exceptions in __autoload
From: rashid@ds.pg.gda.pl ("Robert Janeczek")

both: __autoload and exceptions are great features in php5, but together
they don`t seem to work well. i want to add some kind of error reporting to
autoload which will throw exception if class file wasn`t found in my
predefined directories. i`ve prepared my own exception class which should
show me nice little error message. what i get is:

Fatal error: __autoload(dupa) threw an exception of type 'Exception' in
[blah blah] on line 87
Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

the same happens when pure Exception class is used. 'try' block around full
code doesn`t help.

i use yesterday`s php5 windows build. should i report this as an error or
exceptions should [not] work like this?
