I experimented with this a bit and came up with the attached patch.

There may be other places that would need similar treatment.

I also experimented with deriving the octave exceptions (execution, 
index, interrupt, and exit) from std::exception, but then realized that 
it would probably cause trouble for the interrupt and exit exceptions to 
be derived from std::exception.  We might still want to derive the 
octave execution and index exceptions from std::exception, however.
