Summary: Remove use of setjmp()/longjmp().

Initial Comment:
Currently, exception and condition unwinding is done via setjmp()/longjmp() calls.  This usage prevents the interpreter from taking advantage of a very important feature of C++, the ability to have object destructors run when the objects go out of scope.  This mechanism needs to be replaced with try/catch logic, which will ensure that the destructors for objects on the stack still get executed.
