I can't replicate the behaviour you describe. Slightly modifying your
code to test:


def looptest
  puts "#"
  raise "Exception"
rescue
  puts "E"
end

def test_01
  [1,2,3,4,5].each do |obj|
    looptest
  end
end

test_01

Simply capturing the exception with a rescue should work fine. This
example, for instance, spits out '#\nE' 5 times.
