Crash if exception was thrown in cluster "master".

[rdner]

I use exceptions for logging any errors in my code, but if I catch errors like this:

process.on('uncaughtException', function (error) {
    logger.error(error);
});

and then use cluster, my server crashes if exception was thrown in "master" (but logger write message).

Can I catch errors in "master" as exceptions and don't crash cluster?

This is because of https://github.com/joyent/node/blob/v0.6/lib/cluster.js#L90, the only thing you can do is:

var cluster = require('cluster');
var child = cluster.fork();

// master has now been setup
process.removeAllListeners('uncaughtException');
process.on('uncaughtException', function (error) { logger.error(error); });

In node 0.8 we could properly check if there are more that one event lisenter before killing the process.
