Throwable vs. Exception...

I had a program that threw a NoClassDefFoundError and my
try,catch block was catching Exception instead of Throwable.

I noticed that the program just kind of hung in the main
method.  When I caught Throwable instead the program
terminated normally after catching the java.lang.Error.

Where & why did the program hang up before?
