Catch with errors.StatusCodeError doesn't work if a generic exception is thrown

[articice]

When using native promises .catch() with error filter, if the function with received body throws an error, the constructor of the error itself throws another error.

TypeError: Cannot set property 'name' of undefined
at StatusCodeError (/home/user/project/node_modules/request-promise-core/lib/errors.js:24:15)

Using this require syntax

const request = require('request-promise-native');
const errors = require('request-promise-native/errors');

consider the following snippet, when the REST API returns status='error':

return request(options)
      .then((reply) => {
        if (reply.status === 'ok') {
          return (reply.data.user.email === user.email);
        } else {
          throw new Error(reply.message || 'Authentication service error');
        }
      }).catch(errors.StatusCodeError, err => {
        if (err.statusCode === 401) {
          console.error('AuthService rejected our authentication settings');
        } else throw err;
      });

The same code snippet works for Bluebird version of request-promise.
