You caused another exception inside your ensure clause, so the previous 
one got lost, so that's your mistake. If you want the original exception 
to live to tell the tale, you cannot raise another in your ensure 
clause. But if your ensure clause was correct, there wouldn't be any 
problems with handling correctly the original exception.
