What do you mean by ledger throwing an exception? Having a return code
different from 0?
For me, the result block should be removed in both cases:
- "exception" of ledger
- empty result of ledger
Or, if not, then (even better): instead of simply removing the result block,
replace it with a sort of error message, saying that ledger's execution failed
and returned XXX as exit code.
Whatever the solution, we have to clearly be aware that the previous results
are now wrong, and that the new result is a failure or empty.

Thanks. But right now, I don't get anything back from the following (same as
for thread about isodoc letters):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+srcname: ledger-journal
#+begin_src ledger

In the *Messages* buffer, I get:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

... but no result block is added in my Org buffer.
I'll carefully test all of this, as soon as I can re-execute Babel under
normal conditions.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Seb
