 Test Script:
 {{{
 #!ruby
 def memory
   pid = $$
   str = `ps alx | grep '#{pid}.*ruby'`
   str.split[7]
 end

 Thread.start {
   sec = 0
   loop do
     puts "#{sec} sec : " + memory + " KB"
     sleep 10
     sec += 10
   end
 }
 #=====================
 class Custom_Exception < Exception
 end

 def foo
   begin
     bar
   rescue Custom_Exception
   end
 end

 def bar
   begin
     baz
   rescue
     #rescue Custom_Exception
     # does not catch the Custom_Exception
     puts "non Custom_Exception"
   end
 end

 def baz
   raise  Custom_Exception
 end

 loop do
   foo
 end
 }}}

 Result:
 {{{
 $ macruby raise.rb
 0 sec : 13744 KB
 10 sec : 494708 KB
 20 sec : 971928 KB
 30 sec : 1420644 KB
 40 sec : 1896572 KB
 }}}

 This problem seems to occur if does not catch the inherited Exception at
 first begin-rescue.
