In this example, I don't get to the finally section.  Rev 2.1.2 and Rev 
2.2 on Mac OS X 10.3.3.

No no : I think it should *always* execute the finally section just the 
way is was in Rev 1.5 and as the documentation tells (finally).
(In a lot of handlers and functions we save the HCAddressing before the 
try control structure, change it to false, and set it back in the 
finally section.  We set the HCAddressing now back in both parts (catch 
and finally)).

Agreed,  in Rev's documentation as well as in the 'What New' file when 
this was changed...  -> Bugzilla #1600
