[Bug translator/11664] New: try-catch squashes normal exits from next/return

["jistone at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

It appears that any kind of "goto out" is being caught, even if not an error.

$ cat overcatcher.stp 
probe begin {
    f()
    try {
        println("next")
        next
    } catch {
        println("next-catch")
    }
    println("next-fallthrough")
}
function f() {
    try {
        println("return")
        return 0
    } catch {
        println("return-catch")
    }
    println("return-fallthrough")
}

$ stap overcatcher.stp 
return
return-catch
return-fallthrough
next
next-catch
next-fallthrough
