Description:
------------
When an exception gets thrown in __autoload() my custom error handler is ignored and a PHP uncaught exception fatal error is displayed instead. Additionally the occuring fatal error message is not as nice as a regular uncaught exception error would be (no trace).

This bug *seems* to be related to http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26591&edit=2 . I am still reporting it, since it still occurs with the latest snapshot version (20050202133, today 13:30) and is reproduced differently.

My config line:

'./configure' '--with-xslt' '--enable-sockets' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--enable-fastcgi' '--with-libxml' '--with-openssl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib/' '--disable-cgi' '--disable-magic-quotes' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/' '--with-dom' '--with-dom-xslt' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.0.23-pc-linux-i686'

No other special changes have been made. XDebug and APC are installed but *not* enabled in my php.ini.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
function my_handler($e) {
	echo 'My custom Handler: '.$e->getMessage().'<br/>';
}

function regular_function() {
	throw new Exception('Regular function exception!');
}

function __autoload($class_name) {
	throw new Exception('__autoload function exception!');
}

set_exception_handler('my_handler');

/* attempt 1: */ regular_function();
/* attempt 2: */ $test = new Test(); // invoking __autoload()
?>

Expected result:
----------------
attempt 1: 'My custom Handler: Regular function exception!'
attempt 2: 'My custom Handler: __autoload function exception!'

Actual result:
--------------
attempt 1: 'My custom Handler: Regular function exception!'
attempt 2: 'Fatal error: Function __autoload(Test) threw an exception of type 'Exception' in /home/smartloader/htdocs/proof.php on line 22'
