Description

groovyc produces no error messages whatsoever (try "groovyc --foo"). At first sight it looks as if rev. 13682 just inadvertently removed "throw e;" between lines 151 and 152. Putting this statement back in solves the main problem but isn't good enough: for example, "groovyc --foo" then gives a stacktrace rather than a clean message.
