[Nickle]break/continue/return from catch block

[Bart Massey]

Cool: thanks for the fix.

If I understand you correctly (not sure) you made break and
continue break out of or repeat the catch block itself.  In
any case, IMHO it should break out of or continue the
surrounding loop, i.e.

	while (1) {
	      try f(); catch e() { break; }
	}

should exit the while loop...
