This bug is still present in "Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) PHP/5.2.8", Windows
XP SP3.

We are still unable to use the codes provided by the thrown exceptions
to provide alternative paths or give meaningful messages either to the
user or to an error log.

Description:
------------
When a COM object throws an exception, the getCode() always return
0x80020009 even when it should be some other value.

This is reproducible with "Scripting.FileSystemObject",
"Scripting.Dictionary" and "Autodesk.MgSdfToolkit".

Reproduce code:
---------------
echo 'For "Scripting.FileSystemObject".';
try {
    $fso = new COM("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    $f = $fso->GetFile("c:\\does not exist.txt");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    //print_r($e);
    echo dechex($e->getCode());
}


echo 'For "Scripting.Dictionary".';
try {
    $d = new COM("Scripting.Dictionary");
    $d->Remove("b");
}
catch (Exception $e) {
    //print_r($e);
    echo dechex($e->getCode());
}

Expected result:
----------------
For 'Scripting.FileSystemObject': 800A0035
For 'Scripting.Dictionary': 800A802B

Actual result:
--------------
For 'Scripting.FileSystemObject': 80020009
For 'Scripting.Dictionary': 80020009
