     It's one thing for the JVM to be unsophisticated about translating 
C++ exceptions to Java ones. It's a different matter for them to crash 
the entire VM (especially with this cryptic error message). Why doesn't 
Java simply wrap all native exceptions in a subclass of 
java.lang.Exception or java.lang.Error instead?
