PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  Exceptions from within _autoload cannot be caught

Description:
------------
When You try to implement some sort of class-loader, the autoload-function
is very usefull.
But as soon as you want the user-code to do something special when a class
isn't found, it'd be handy to throw out an exception, which the user-code
either can catch or ignore.

With the current beta2 that isn't possible as it seems.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
    function __autoload($class)
    {
        throw new Exception($class . " does not exist.");
    }

try
{
    $obj = new test(); // Where test is a non-existent class
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    echo $e;
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Something like:
exception 'exception' with message 'test does not exist.' etc..

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: __autoload threw an exception in
/home/acm/public_html/kb/autoload.php on line 11
