Description

Node's OnUncaughtException handler has implemented logic to report the exception to Sentry and exit the process. However, exiting the process is not always desirable. If I have a long-running Node server process, I'd want an uncaught exception to be captured, but I don't want the process to exit.

Overriding onFatalError is not enough, because Sentry forcefully kills the process if two uncaught exceptions happen in a row, even if they are unrelated to each other (due to the caughtFirstError variable in the _makeErrorHandler() closure - see onuncaughtexception.ts)
