I notice that we only catch the exception so we can call
set_executing, and this is the same call to set_executing that we need
to perform in the non-exception return path.
This would be much cleaner if we could use SCOPE_EXIT to avoid the
try/catch, so lets do that.
While cleaning this up, I also applied a similar patch to
record-full.c, though there's no try/catch in that case, but using
SCOPE_EXIT makes the code safe if, in the future, we do start throwing
exceptions.
There should be no user visible changes after this commit.
