Subject: rescuing exceptions

I'm doing some automated ftp'ing....

begin
    #ftp code here
rescue Net::FTPPermError => e
    #do nothing for example sake
end

Even though I rescue the Net::FTPPermError, it still makes it to $stderr 
if there is an error. What am I missing here? I have tried to rescue all 
Exceptions, etc..and it still gets printed. Looking at the code for 
chdir we have:

def chdir(dirname)
      if dirname == ".."
        begin
          voidcmd("CDUP")
          return
        rescue FTPPermError
          if $![0, 3] != "500"
            raise FTPPermError, $!
          end
        end
      end
      cmd = "CWD " + dirname
      voidcmd(cmd)
end

If I try to use chdir in my example above to a bogus directory it still 
gets printed to $stderr, even though my rescue clause picks it up. 
Shouldn't that be the end of it?

Thanks,


Zach
