I think you need to debug that more closely.  If the first select_db() 
fails, it will try to create_db, which _doesn't throw exceptions_ when 
it fails.  It just returns true (!) so the program ends.

For your patch to have any value, you'd have to create the database 
(again? how?) and then fail to select the database you just created.
