Easy, use retry:

begin
   contacts_folder = session.GetDefaultFolder(5)
rescue Exception => ex
   puts ex
   unless $tried
     $tried = true
     retry
   end
end

__END__

Output:

undefined local variable or method `session' for main:Object
undefined local variable or method `session' for main:Object
