🐛 Bug: Exception in a reporter silently crashes Mocha

[rassie]

If a reporter raises an exception, Mocha just stops without any error message. An example reporter demonstrating the problem (needs a failing test in the suite):

module.exports = Crash;

var Spec = require('mocha/lib/reporters/spec');

function Crash(runner) {
    Spec.call(this, runner);

    runner.on('fail', function(test, err){
        throw new Error();
    });
}

Crash.prototype.__proto__ = Spec.prototype;

This is the case with Node 0.8, with Node 0.10 there is at least a stack strace. Nevertheless, an error message like "Reporter has crashed" would be nice.

this would be helpful.

I'm not even sure how to get the stack trace
