I happened to notice that the fix for 4546590 (compute_compiled_exc_handler,
runtime.cpp) has a small problem: it does not cause the new exception
generated during exception handler lookup to be passed back to the caller and
thereby to the Java code. This means that the ClassNotFoundError will not be
seen by the end user; the original exception will be seen in its place. Making the "Handle exception" parameter a "Handle& exception" would have the
correct semantics.

How to reproduce:

Use test from 4307310 for test case.

Compare (incorrect):

java -server -Xcomp -Xfuture -cp test.zip packA.ClsC
Exception in thread "main" packA.ClsE
at packA.ClsC.doThrow(ClsC.java:8)
at packB.ClsD.doTryCatch(ClsD.java:9)
at packA.ClsC.main(ClsC.java:15)

to (correct):
java -server -Xint -Xfuture -cp test.zip packA.ClsC
