Serious bug: "finally" block is run whenever "continue" is reached

[A. Sundararajan]

You can use this script

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/nashorn/file/829e3b95b319/samples/breakcontinue_in_tryfinally.js 


to locate all such break/continue in try..finally to apply the workaround.

As this one uses Nashorn parser API in jdk9-dev, you've to follow these 
steps:

$ hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/nashorn
$ cd make
$ ant clean jar
$ cd samples
$ jjs -J-Djava.ext.dirs=../dist breakcontinue_in_tryfinally.js  -- 
<your-root-script-dir>

This will report all break/continue within try..finally in every .js of 
your root script dir (recursive scan)

Hope this helps,
-Sundar
