[TIMOB-1666] Attempting to SELECT from a non-existant table crashes the app

I have this code:

try {
    var rs = db.execute('SELECT * FROM meta');
} catch (e) {
    Ti.API.info("Error: " + e);
}

which results in my app crashing with this error in the OS X Console:

8/28/10 4:15:45 PM  BillingWorks3[17336]    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'org.billingworks3.TiDatabaseProxy', reason: 'invalid SQL statement. Error Domain=com.plausiblelabs.pldatabase Code=3 "An error occured parsing the provided SQL statement." UserInfo=0x911bcf0 {com.plausiblelabs.pldatabase.error.vendor.code=1, NSLocalizedDescription=An error occured parsing the provided SQL statement., com.plausiblelabs.pldatabase.error.query.string=SELECT * FROM meta, com.plausiblelabs.pldatabase.error.vendor.string=no such table: meta}  in -[TiDatabaseProxy execute:] (TiDatabaseProxy.m:134)'

I would have expected my error handler to have caught the exception rather than crashing the app.
