Unhandled exceptions crashing node

[kenperkins]

I've had a case where two different errors with my smtp server were both resulting in unhandled exceptions that crashed node.

v0.6.4 and node 0.4.8

// First problem happened when Google blocked our account, but this was causing node_error to throw an async unhandled exception

This happened to us unexpectedly in production and forced a panic switch to https://github.com/eleith/emailjs which worked without issue.
