Fixing up state after error

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that that there's a way do what I want, but I can't
find it.
Here's a simplified version of my problem: I have an object that wants
to save itself on a ReferenceStream in response to #writeToFile, but
it has some property stored in an instVar named 'prop' that I don't
want stored (I later store it separately).
I have something like:
writeToFile
| propHolder |
ref := ReferenceStream on: (FileStream fileNamed: 'output.obj').
propHolder := prop.
prop := nil.
ref nextPut: self.
prop := propHolder
I want to assure that if something goes wrong during stream writing, and
triggers a walkback, that 'prop' gets restored to its old value. I'm
pretty sure I saw somthing like this recently in the image, but can't
remember where.
Thanks,
Joshua
