Report from the static analyzer clearly showing the problem.

I'm running the static analyzer (version 3.5) on some legacy code. 

I got a false positive in a function where a boolean flag was used to return
the success (or failure) of a try/catch block. It seems like the static
analyzer disregards the chance that an exception may skip parts of the block.

Please see the attached, generated report.
