Re: make check and C++ exceptions

Hi!

Sorry for the delay.  Maybe you finally solved this?

 Steve> return0throw returned 0

Note that when return0throw runs it prints "cought: hello" in
this second run, while it did not during "make check" above.
Too me, this indicates that the exception was not caught during
the first run.  Perhaps it's not the same code which is being
executed?  I'm sorry I don't have any other idea.
