Description:
------------
Doc is wrong (see below) sinc the change in Version 5.0.0 Beta 4 12-Feb-2004 where it states:
"Changed exceptions so that they *must* now inherit from the built-in Exception class. This allows for a general catch(Exception $e) statement to catch all exceptions. (Andi, Zeev)"

- - -

The Doc under 
  http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php
sais:
"Even though the above example shows that it is possible to define exception classes that don't inherit from Exception it is best to do so."

- - -

So the examlple and the text is worong.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
