// System exceptions
//
// These are all of the exceptions that derive from SystemException, 
// which can implicitly be thrown from any method.
//
// Common fields:
//   exp: explanation string, may be NULL
//   param: index (starting from 0) of the parameter which is causing
//          the problem, or -1 if unspecified.  This should only be
//          specified for parameters of IDL methods; if thrown from a
//          language function/method which does not know the relevant
//          parameter in the IDL method, it should use an explanation
//          string instead (and not use the index of its own parameter).
