Right. Errors indicate that something went fundamentally wrong in 
your program and no recovery is possible (indicates a programming 
error rather than an environmental error generally). So at this 
point the only thing to do is to close the program and stop 
execution. Theoretically anything might be wrong at this point, 
so even executing things like your finally or scope blocks could 
lead to corruption.
