   Nowadays I don't use catch/throw, not that I have anything against it;   
   I'm just being retro. But from past experience, if I recall right, the   
   data stack may have been reset to its former position at the time of   
   catch but the data on the stack could be dirty. Any on-error action,   
   e.g. i/o cleanup, prior to abort would be prudent in avoiding the   
   use of data left on the data stack (if catch hadn't restored it from   
   a clone copy).
