What you do is put the code that may raise an exception inside a blok, and
since you want to try again, put the block inside a loop.

This is a standard idiom, and you can see how it is used by checking the
code examples on Adapower (http://www.adapower.com/lang/safeio.html is an
example of mine that does almost nothing except catch exceptions :-) check
the "get" routine).
