[Ironruby-core] MRI 1.8.6 bug - exit is ignored if ensure clause throws exception which is caught by outer rescue

[Shri Borde]

The following code snippet does print "after foo" when using MRI 1.8.6 on Windows Vista, showing that exit is ignored. Any thoughts on whether this is by design, a known bug, or a new issue? If it's the latter, should I open a bug for it?

def foo
  begin
    begin
      begin
        exit
      rescue
        puts "We never reach here"
      end
    ensure
      raise "exception from ensure"
    end
  rescue
    puts "We do reach here, which is unexpected"
  end
end

foo
print "after foo"

Thanks,
Shri
