ZF does not catch exception

I'm trying to get my log writer working, however, I don't get that far.

When I throw an exception:

<?php

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        throw new Exception('something bad happened!');
    }
}

it is not being caught by my errorcontroller.

checked my version is 1.11.4 with env development. I'm not sure what is wrong here, any help appreciated. I find it very weird.

( ! ) Exception: something bad happened! in C:\sites\mysite\application\controllers\IndexController.php on line 7

I'd think you have throwExceptions set to 1 for your dev enviroment in your application.ini ;)
