-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Exception in "finally" not caught by outer "try"
                 Key: GROOVY-8085
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8085
             Project: Groovy
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.4.8
         Environment: linux
            Reporter: Craig Silverstein


I would expect the following code to print `caughtt`:
```
groovy -e 'try { try { true; } finally { 1 / 0 } } catch (e) { println 
"caughtt" }'
```

But instead, it prints:
```
Caught: java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
java.lang.ArithmeticException: Division by zero
        at script_from_command_line.run(script_from_command_line:1)
```

Why is the exception, thrown by the `finally`, not being caught by the outer 
try/catch?
