What happens in the case of CATCH - what's left on the stack?
 

Nowadays I don't use catch/throw, not that I have anything against it;
I'm just being retro. But from past experience, if I recall right, the
data stack may have been reset to its former position at the time of
catch but the data on the stack could be dirty. Any on-error action,
e.g. i/o cleanup, prior to abort would be prudent in avoiding the
use of data left on the data stack (if catch hadn't restored it from
a clone copy).
