Attempt to access top level variable raises NoMethodError instead of NameError

[GoogleCodeExporter]

## Adapted from IronRuby tests (Runtime\Class\test_top_level.rb)

foo = 1

def bar
    foo
end

begin
    puts bar
rescue Exception => obj
    puts obj.class
end

Expected output:
NameError

Actual output:
NoMethodError

This fix breaks if it's really a method call instead of variable access.

Test case:

  begin
    foo
  rescue NameError
    puts 'ok'
  rescue
    puts 'not ok'
  end

  begin
    foo()
  rescue NoMethodError
    puts 'ok'
  rescue
    puts 'not ok'
  end
