throw() causing core dumps on sparc

[Michael Coulter <mjc_(_at_)_bitz_(_dot_)_ca>]

Hello,

The problem I'm having here has been persistent
whether I've upgraded from source or snapshots.
I've also tried both GENERIC and SUN4M kernels.
The machine itself is an SS5.


I'm assuming it's a problem with the c++ libraries or my toolchain.
Which have been sucessfully upgraded as part of make build several times.
I've tried a couple of precompiled sparc packages for a couple of c++
programs (devtodo & maildrop). And the backtrace from them looks like
the one below.



/tmp % cat test.cc
#include <cstdio>

int main(void) {

try {
 printf("blah\n");
 throw("foo\n");
}
catch(const char *p) {
        printf("%s\n");
}
exit(0);

}
