Exception != bug.

You seem to misunderstand the problem. The library used to throw an
exception as part of its initialization, which it catches itself, also
as part of its initialization. This turned out to be annoying if you
have the IDE break on exceptions, and so in the current version the
code was refactored to work without throwing and catching an
exception.
