-----------------------------------
Merged onto the 2_4_X branch.
> 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
> Components: Compiler
> Affects Versions: 2.4.8
> Environment: linux
> Reporter: Craig Silverstein
> Assignee: Daniel Sun
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.4.10
>
>
> 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?
