[ODE] Exception Handling

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

You can throw an exception inside ODE, as long as you catch it before it 
leaves the API. You can catch it and return an error status, for example.

Note that not all errors are fixable, so blindly subdividing and 
re-trying is probably not appropriate behavior.
