sql.js's process.on('uncaughtException') causing problems

[MrBlenny]

This library binds to uncaughtException as follows:

process['on']('uncaughtException', function(ex) {
    // suppress ExitStatus exceptions from showing an error
    if (!(ex instanceof ExitStatus)) {
      throw ex;
    }
  });

This causes incompatibilities with global uncaughtException handlers as seen in this issue - related to electron.
Can sql.js's uncaughtException handler be changed? What are the implications of removing it?

I'm not terribly familiar with how electron works, so forgive my ignorance if I misspeak.

Could you preserve your original uncaughtException function prior to requiring in sql.js, and reapply it after?

The uncaughtException code is not actually sql.js, but an artifact of emscripten which we use to compile sqlite to javascript.

[MrBlenny]

That didn't seem to work for me.

I have removed sql.js's uncaughtException handler - that seemed to do the trick for me and hasn't caused any issues thus far.
