Hi,
I'm trying to track down a problem with threads, C++ exceptions and ACE
on -current.  Is the appended little program supposed to work?
If not, why not?  It SIGABRTs immediately after the last throw
with egcs-2.95.2, and also with a month old or so egcs-2.91.66,
stock cc.  Also with LinuxThreads, so it's not libc_r specific.
I am told but cannot verify at the minute that this works on
other platforms.

Thanks,
Russell
