Exceptions

  Hello.

  I'm in the process of embedding Guile into a C program, primarily by allowing
the user (via configuration files and some runtime-entered scripts) to create
"hook" procedures that get called in response to program events.  Currently,
I'm experiencing a high level of frustration due to the fact that any error in
the user-provided scripts will cause my program to abort with a Scheme error.
I've tried (based on the tiny amount of documentation available and a fair
amount of code-examination) to set up a catch handler for the main program body;
however, even when my catch handler is invoked, my program still terminates
on a Scheme error.  Is there any way to get around this feature?

  Daniel
